Synagogue Rachi

Synagogue Rachi, Jewish synagogue in Troyes, France.

Synagogue Rachi occupies the former rectory of the Madeleine church at 5 rue Brunneval, a Renaissance-style building restored in the 20th and 21st centuries. The entrance arch is carved with the Hebrew verse of Psalm 118, "Open to me the gates of righteousness", and the door's transom shows the Tables of the Law. The compound joins a 16th-century timber-frame house with corbels to an 18th-century house.

The building was completed in 1960 and honors Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, known as Rashi, a medieval Jewish scholar from Troyes who lived in the 11th century. His influence on Jewish scholarship shaped the foundation of this modern space.

The synagogue follows the Sephardic rite within Orthodox Judaism and belongs to the Consistoire central israélite de France. Its name recalls Rashi, born in Troyes around 1040, whose commentary on the Bible and Talmud is read in Jewish communities worldwide. In June 2019 the site hosted a world congress on women in Judaism titled "The Women of Rashi", attended by rabbis Delphine Horvilleur, Pauline Bebe and Floriane Chinsky.

The synagogue stands at 5 rue Brunneval, in the old centre of Troyes, with the European Rashi Institute opposite. The entrance is the arched grey double door beneath the Hebrew inscription from Psalm 118; the number 5 is on the black plaque above it. The prayer hall was extended in 1986 and the buildings reopened on 4 September 2016 after restoration begun in 2011.

The stone arch over the entrance at 5 rue Brunneval carries the Hebrew verse of Psalm 118:19, "Open to me the gates of righteousness". Psalm 118 closes the Hallel recitation read on most biblical Jewish holidays. The door's transom shows the Tables of the Law.
