Sinagoga Beth El

The Beth El Synagogue features a distinctive seven-sided structure with Byzantine elements, towers, domes, and colored stained glass windows throughout its exterior facades.

Built in 1929 through funding from Jewish families and Salomão Klabin's initiative, Beth El became the first major synagogue in São Paulo, with initial prayers held in 1932.

The synagogue maintains its religious functions while housing the Jewish Museum of São Paulo, which preserves local Jewish heritage through exhibitions and educational programs.

The building opens for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur celebrations, offering Hebrew classes, Bar Mitzvah preparation, meditation sessions, and Judaism introduction courses.

The synagogue's seven-sided architectural design by Samuel Roder represents both the seven days of creation and the seven branches of the menorah.
