Abrishami Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in District 6, Tehran, Iran
The Abrishami Synagogue occupies 1,025 square meters across two floors, featuring marble construction and glass chandeliers throughout its prayer halls and educational facilities.
The synagogue opened in September 1965 through funding from Iranian Jewish philanthropist Aghajan Abrishami during the period of Pahlavi architectural development.
The religious complex includes a main prayer hall, Jewish school, beit midrash study center, mikveh ritual bath, and kosher restaurant serving Tehran's Jewish community.
The synagogue accommodates 500 people, with morning services hosting 70 congregants and evening services gathering up to 200 members of the community.
During Sukkot, Jewish pilgrims reside in a temporary dwelling constructed on the synagogue's roof for one week to commemorate the Exodus from Egypt.
