Beth-el Synagogue
Beth-el Synagogue is a house of prayer in Kolkata that serves as a gathering place for Jewish worship and religious observance. The building features architectural elements typical of synagogues, with spaces designed for services and communal prayer.
The synagogue was established to serve as a religious center for Kolkata's Jewish community. The building has stood as a testament to the presence and continuity of this community in the city across different historical periods.
The synagogue's name Beth-el means "House of God" in Hebrew and reflects the religious identity of the community. The space draws visitors from different backgrounds who come to appreciate both the architectural and spiritual significance of the building.
