Beth Shalom Temple, Conservative Jewish synagogue in Vedado neighborhood, Havana, Cuba.

The Beth Shalom Temple displays a modernist design that incorporates Romanesque elements alongside European and Moorish-Spanish architectural features.

Established in 1904, the synagogue structure opened in 1953 and underwent substantial restoration during the 1990s with support from international Jewish organizations.

The synagogue maintains a Jewish library and functions as the central gathering place for Havana's Jewish community of approximately 1,500 members.

The temple accommodates up to 300 people for regular religious services, celebrations of holy days, bar mitzvahs, and community events.

In 1981, a section of the building transformed into the Bertolt Brecht Cultural Center while maintaining its religious functions in the remaining space.
