Etz Chaim Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Thiseio, Athens, Greece.
The Etz Chaim Synagogue features a traditional architectural design with a main prayer hall and separate seating areas for men and women.
Constructed in 1904 by Greek Romaniote Jews from Ioannina, the synagogue underwent major renovations following damage from the 1999 earthquake.
The synagogue maintains both Romaniote and Nusach Sefard religious practices, reflecting the diverse traditions of Athens Jewish community.
Located at Melidoni Street 8, the synagogue stands across from Beth Shalom Synagogue and primarily opens for major religious celebrations.
The congregation refers to this synagogue as the Romanian or Yannonian synagogue, names derived from the origins of its founding members.
