Beth Meir Synagogue, Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Bastia, France
Beth Meir Synagogue stands at 3 Rue du Castagno, featuring vernacular architecture with local design elements and following Sephardic traditions.
Founded in 1934, the synagogue initially operated from an apartment before moving to its current brick building in the same year.
Rabbi Meir Toledano led the congregation from 1920 to 1970, establishing strong connections between Jewish traditions and the local Corsican community.
The synagogue maintains regular prayer services and educational programs for the Jewish population of 200 to 400 people across Corsica.
During World War II, this synagogue became a sanctuary as Corsican authorities protected Jewish residents by declaring no Jews lived on the island.
