Beth Shalom Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Keramikos, Greece.

The Beth Shalom Synagogue stands out with its white Pentelic marble exterior and incorporates elements of Greek Revival architecture at its Melidoni Street location.

Built in 1935 by architect Emmanuel Lazaridis, the synagogue represents the revival of Jewish presence in Athens after centuries without a dedicated place of worship.

The synagogue follows the Eastern Sephardi rite and maintains two stained glass windows depicting abstract interpretations of Genesis and Exodus biblical narratives.

Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance and provide passport copies to the synagogue administration before receiving permission to enter the building.

The interior configuration connects the tivah reading desk to the echal through an elevated platform, creating an integrated ceremonial space within the sanctuary.

Location: Athens Municipality

Inception: 1935
