Tzedek ve-Shalom, Historic synagogue in Paramaribo, Suriname.
The white wooden neoclassical structure stands in the center of Paramaribo with arched windows and traditional architectural elements from the Spanish-Portuguese tradition.
Built in 1735, the synagogue served as the primary Jewish center of worship in Paramaribo until 1999, when the congregation merged with Neveh Shalom Synagogue.
The interior features a traditional layout with a tevah opposite the Torah ark, along with brass chandeliers imported from the Netherlands.
The synagogue building now functions as a computer repair store, while its original furnishings are preserved in the Israel Museum collection.
The structure represents the oldest synagogue in continuous use throughout the Americas, with sand-covered floors reflecting Caribbean Jewish customs.
