Great Synagogue, Byzantine architecture synagogue in central Tel Aviv, Israel
The Great Synagogue stands at 110 Allenby Street with concrete walls, decorated stained glass windows, and a prominent architectural dome design.
Architect Yehuda Magidovitch completed the synagogue in 1926, following a construction delay caused by World War I and initial plans from Richard Michael.
The synagogue maintains daily religious services in a lower level chamber while the main sanctuary hosts Jewish weddings and special ceremonies.
Visitors can attend bi-monthly Friday night meals that gather approximately 350 people, alongside regular Shabbat day services and Kabbalat Shabbat events.
The building underwent substantial modifications in 1969 when architect Aryeh Elhanani updated both interior spaces and exterior features with modernist elements.
