Beth Yaakov Synagogue, 19th-century Jewish place of worship in Geneva, Switzerland.
The synagogue displays Moorish Revival and Byzantine Revival architectural elements, with distinctive arches framing its main entrance at Place de la Synagogue.
Built in 1859 by architect Jean-Henri Bachofen, the Beth Yaakov Synagogue served an Ashkenazi Jewish community of approximately 200 members at its inception.
The interior layout incorporates traditional Jewish design principles, with the bimah positioned in front of the Torah ark and separate sections for women.
Religious services occur daily, with Shacharit at 7:15 AM on weekdays, 8:00 AM on Sundays, and 9:30 AM during Shabbat celebrations.
The building holds status as a Class B Swiss cultural property, managed by the Communauté Israélite de Genève under Rabbi Jacob Tolédano's leadership.
