Jewish Center of Coney Island, Synagogue in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, United States.

The Jewish Center of Coney Island is a synagogue in Brighton Beach featuring Renaissance Revival style with a distinctive golden-stone facade and red-tiled roof. The building contains multiple rooms arranged for religious services, community events, and social programs that serve the neighborhood.

The congregation was founded in 1914 on West 5th Street in Coney Island as Temple Adath Israel. When it built this community centre in 1929–1930, it renamed itself the Jewish Center of Coney Island, following the community-centre movement that began in Manhattan in 1917. In 1947 the name changed to the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach.

The building is a former synagogue and community center; the congregation was founded in 1914 as Temple Adath Israel on West 5th Street in Coney Island and took the name Jewish Center of Coney Island when the center was built in 1929–1930. It was renamed the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach in 1947.

The building is a former synagogue, so visits depend on access arranged through the current owners rather than regular opening hours. It stands in Brighton Beach, a short walk from Brighton Beach Avenue and its elevated subway line. The four-story facade and red tile roof make it identifiable from the street.

The building's interior was used as a set for Lord of War, the 2005 crime drama starring Nicolas Cage. It had already been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, two years before Soluri Architecture was engaged to redesign the 24,000-square-foot building in a more modern and practical style.
