Maguen David Synagogue, Conservative synagogue in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Maguen David Synagogue is a house of worship in San Pedro Sula that combines Conservative Jewish tradition with Nusach Sefard liturgy. The building sits on Boulevard Morazan and serves as a gathering place for the local Jewish community.
The synagogue was completed in 1954 on land donated by Boris Goldstein, with the support of San Pedro Sula's Jewish colony. Its main facade carries a Star of David. It is one of only two synagogues in Honduras, alongside Shevit Ajim in Tegucigalpa.
The community gathers here for Shabbat services and Jewish holidays, shaping the religious rhythm of local Jewish life. Visitors can experience how Conservative Jewish traditions are practiced in a Central American setting.
The synagogue stands in San Pedro Sula, in the Cortés department of northern Honduras. It is a Conservative congregation, so those wishing to attend Shabbat services or community events should contact the community in advance; the building is not a general tourist site.
Honduras has three synagogues in total: Maguen David and the Orthodox Derech Chaim, also called Mishkan Shlomo, both in San Pedro Sula, and Shevit Ajim in Tegucigalpa. Maguen David is the Conservative congregation of the three, and its land was donated by Boris Goldstein.
