Bakırköy Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Bakırköy district, Istanbul, Turkey
The Bakırköy Synagogue stands on Cumhuriyet Avenue, constructed with traditional brick materials and following the architectural principles of religious Jewish buildings.
Built in 1914 through the efforts of Moshe Pinhas and Moshe Behar Hak, the synagogue served as a military shipment center during World War II.
The synagogue maintains Nusach Sefard rite traditions and serves Jewish residents from Bakırköy, Yeşilköy, and Yeşilyurt districts of Istanbul.
Regular Shabbat services take place in the synagogue, which underwent substantial renovations in 1960 to maintain its structural integrity.
The building represents one of twenty remaining active synagogues in Istanbul, where the Jewish population decreased from 500,000 to 26,000 over centuries.
