Sahar Hassamain Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel Island, Portugal.
The Sahar Hassamain Synagogue stands at 16 Rua de Brum, featuring traditional Azorean exterior architecture and maintaining original Jewish interior elements.
Built in 1836, this synagogue represents the first Jewish congregation established in Portugal after the expulsion from the Iberian Peninsula.
The synagogue contains valuable religious artifacts, including a circumcision chair from 1819 and numerous manuscripts documenting Jewish traditions.
Since 2015, the building functions as the Sahar Hassamaim Hebrew Museum, offering guided tours and educational programs about Jewish heritage.
Among five former synagogues in Ponta Delgada, this structure remains the sole surviving testament to the Jewish presence in the Azores.
