Chassidim Shul, Jewish synagogue in Yeoville, South Africa
The Chassidim Shul features a V-shaped roof structure and exterior walls constructed with warm-colored stone and decorative grilles in Johannesburg's suburb.
Established in 1963 with a cornerstone laid by Henry Jacobson, the synagogue became a central hub for the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in South Africa.
The synagogue interior contained brass and bronze mystic lions above the Holy Ark, crafted by sculptor Edoardo Villa for religious ceremonies.
The congregation relocated from the original building to Savoy Estate, where they continue regular services, educational programs, and community gatherings.
The architectural firm Morgenstern & Morgenstern designed this religious structure, which influenced the establishment of twelve additional Chabad synagogues across South Africa.
