Synagogue, Middelburg, Jewish religious site in Middelburg, Netherlands.

The synagogue stands between Sint Janstraat and Herenstraat, featuring a modern interior design that accommodates various community gatherings and religious services.

Built in 1705 in the backyard of merchant Benjamin Levie, this synagogue became the first Jewish house of worship constructed outside Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The Torah scrolls are stored in the aron-hakodesj, a cabinet positioned toward Jerusalem, following traditional Jewish architectural principles.

The renovated building serves multiple functions, hosting religious ceremonies, lectures, and chamber concerts throughout the year.

In 2022, after 300 years, the congregation received its own Torah scroll, written in Jerusalem using special ink and goose quill on parchment.
