Heichal Shlomo, Religious center on King George Street, Jerusalem, Israel.

Heichal Shlomo spans multiple floors containing a synagogue, Jewish museum, teacher's college, and auditorium within its Jerusalem stone exterior walls.

The building served as the headquarters of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel from its completion in 1958 until the 1990s, funded by Sir Isaac Wolfson.

The Wolfson Museum within Heichal Shlomo exhibits 5,000 Jewish ceremonial objects, including archaeological artifacts from different periods and regional styles.

The Jewish Heritage Center maintains regular visiting hours, providing guided tours of the museum collections, synagogue interiors, and temporary art exhibitions.

The Renanim Synagogue features an authentic 18th-century Torah ark and bimah transferred from a historical synagogue in Padua, Italy.
