Chassidim Shul, Jewish synagogue in Yeoville, South Africa

Chassidim Shul is a former synagogue in Yeoville, Johannesburg, completed in 1963 to a design by Jacques and Riva Morgenstern. Its heavy V-shaped roof shelters a building enclosed by screens of warm-coloured stone and terrazzo grilles and facings by sculptor Edoardo Villa. The brass and bronze lions that once stood over the Holy Ark have been removed.

The synagogue was established in 1963 with a cornerstone ceremony involving Henry Jacobson. It became a key center for the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and helped shape the foundation of additional Jewish institutions throughout the country.

The shul was known for Shabbat farbrengens and for dancing on Simchat Torah. From Yeoville it seeded more than a dozen Chabad synagogues across Johannesburg, Natal and the Cape, bringing Lubavitch and the Rebbe's teachings to local Jews. The congregation later moved to Savoy Estate and in 2025 opened a new shul at the Hebrew Order of David centre in Orchards.

The building on Yeoville's streets no longer functions as a synagogue, so there are no services to attend there; the congregation moved to Savoy Estate and in 2025 opened a new shul at the Hebrew Order of David centre in Orchards. Treat the Yeoville structure as an exterior architectural landmark viewed from the street, and direct any visit tied to worship to the Orchards address.

The building won the Institute of Architects Award for the best ecclesiastical building in 1963, the year it was completed. Its sculptural exterior combines warm-coloured stone with modelled grilles and terrazzo facings by the sculptor Edoardo Villa, who also made the brass and bronze lions over the Holy Ark; those lions have since been removed.
