Neveh Shalom Synagogue, Wooden synagogue in Paramaribo, Suriname.
The Neveh Shalom Synagogue features fine wooden craftsmanship throughout its interior, including handcrafted benches, a central dais, and a sacred ark for Torah scrolls.
The synagogue, initially constructed in 1719 by Ashkenazi Jews, underwent reconstruction between 1835 and 1837 to accommodate the growing Jewish population in Paramaribo.
The synagogue serves as the central religious institution for the remaining Jewish community in Suriname, maintaining centuries-old traditions within a diverse Caribbean society.
Located at Keizerstraat 82-84 in downtown Paramaribo, the synagogue welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for guided tours.
The synagogue floor remains covered in sand, connecting to both the biblical journey through the desert and the period when Jewish prayers required muffling during persecution.
