Raw Aron Schuster Synagoge, Ashkenazi synagogue in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, Netherlands.
The Raw Aron Schuster Synagogue features architectural elements of the Amsterdam School style with a block-shaped structure, tower, and prominent roof overhangs at Jacob Obrechtplein.
Following its 1928 inauguration, the synagogue became a central Jewish religious institution after World War II, with the first post-war service held during Rosh Hashanah 1945.
The interior contains six stained glass windows depicting the twelve tribes of Israel, designed by Atelier Willem Bogtman, with a black marble ark niche and gold accents.
The synagogue accommodates 334 men's seats and 265 women's places, with the women's gallery extending along the back wall supported by square pillars.
The building received its current name in 1973 to honor Rabbi Aron Schuster, who led the congregation from January 1942 until his retirement and move to Jerusalem.
