Synagogue of Deal, Sephardi Orthodox synagogue in Deal, New Jersey, United States.
The Synagogue of Deal is a modern building on Norwood Avenue designed to hold about 325 people in its main prayer hall and an additional 80 in a smaller chapel. The structure spans over 12,000 square feet and combines contemporary design with religious function.
The religious center opened in 1973 as Deal's first synagogue. During its dedication, the congregation received three antique Persian Torah scrolls as a significant gift.
The congregation brings together people whose families came from Syria, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, keeping their shared traditions alive through prayer and learning together. This connection to different homelands shapes how religious life unfolds here.
Visitors can attend daily morning and evening prayers or follow them online through iTorah.com for remote access. The building offers straightforward access and the community provides multiple ways to participate or support the congregation.
The center launched a kollel study program in 2019 under Rabbi Mechael Semah, offering advanced Torah study for adults. This program draws scholars seeking deeper religious learning in a structured way.
