Neve Shalom Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Karaköy district, Istanbul, Turkey.

The Neve Shalom Synagogue features a large dome that supports a central chandelier and contains stained glass windows imported from England.

Constructed in 1951 on the site of a former Jewish school, the synagogue was designed by Turkish Jewish architects Elyo Ventura and Bernar Motola.

The synagogue maintains Nusach Sefard traditions and conducts regular religious services, including Shabbat prayers and High Holiday celebrations for Istanbul's Jewish population.

Located at Büyük Hendek Caddesi 61, the synagogue contains seating for 2000 people and remains open for both religious ceremonies and educational visits.

The name Neve Shalom translates to Oasis of Peace, reflecting its role as a central gathering place for Jewish worship in Istanbul.
