Beth El Synagogue, Byzantine Revival synagogue in Waterbury, United States
The Beth El Synagogue features a prominent gold-adorned dome with acanthus cresting and triple entrance doors topped by carved Decalogue representations.
Constructed in 1929, this synagogue represents the first Byzantine Revival style Jewish house of worship built in Connecticut and joined the National Register in 1995.
The synagogue interior contains wooden pews arranged in three aisles beneath the central dome, with a small stage area framed by angled walls.
Located at 359-375 Cooke Street, the building now houses Yeshiva Ateres Shmuel after the original congregation sold the property in 2001.
The synagogue was among fifteen Connecticut Jewish places of worship added to the National Register during an unprecedented nomination process.
