Beth Shalom Synagogue

Beth Shalom Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Keramikos, Greece.

Beth Shalom Synagogue is a synagogue in Keramikos featuring a white Pentelic marble exterior shaped by Greek Revival architectural elements. The building sits on Melidoni Street and combines classical aesthetics with its religious purpose.

Beth Shalom was built in 1935 by Sephardi Jews who had settled in Athens in the preceding years, arriving from northern Greece and Asia Minor, which is why it is also called the "Sephardi" synagogue. Construction was completed shortly before the start of World War II. It was renovated in the 1970s and serves as the main synagogue for the Jewish Community of Athens' religious ceremonies.

The name Beth Shalom means "House of Peace" in Hebrew. The congregation worships in the Eastern Sephardi rite, brought by Sephardi Jews who settled in Athens from northern Greece and Asia Minor. The two large stained-glass windows inside were made by the painter Mari Polychronopoulou in 1972.

Visitors must arrange an appointment in advance and submit passport copies to the synagogue administration to gain access to the building. Early planning is important since visits are regulated by these requirements.

The interior departs from traditional Greek synagogue layouts: after the 1970s renovation, wood panelling and modern decorative elements dominate the 400-square-metre hall, which seats 550 people. Two large stained-glass windows made by the painter Mari Polychronopoulou in 1972 light the space.
