Tiféret Israel Synagogue

Tiféret Israel is an Orthodox synagogue in the El Recreo neighborhood that serves as headquarters for the Israelite Association of Venezuela. The building contains spaces for prayer services, religious gatherings, and community events for Caracas's Jewish population.

Construction began in 1956 after the Sephardic Jewish community purchased land in Maripérez to replace an older building that had been demolished for highway development. The new structure allowed the community to continue its religious life in a permanent location.

The synagogue follows Sephardic traditions and hosts weddings, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, and regular prayer services for the Jewish community. Visitors can observe how religious practices and family celebrations bring people together throughout the year.

The building welcomes visitors for religious services and events, though respectful dress and behavior are expected. It helps to check in advance about service times or community events that may be open to visitors.

The building experienced a security incident in 2009 that led to enhanced protective measures and legal consequences for those involved. This moment became a defining chapter in how the community responded to adversity.
