Kehila Kedosha Janina, Greek Jewish synagogue in Lower East Side, Manhattan, US
The two-story brick synagogue at 280 Broome Street features a central bimah in the main sanctuary with separate seating sections for men and women.
Founded in 1906 by immigrants from Ioannina, Greece, the synagogue building was completed in 1927 following designs by architect Sydney Daub in Classical and Moorish Revival styles.
The synagogue preserves Romaniote Jewish traditions, maintaining specific religious practices and customs that differ from both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish communities.
The second-floor museum opens every Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, presenting artifacts and exhibits about Greek Jewish history through guided tours.
This synagogue stands as the sole Romaniote Jewish house of worship in the Western Hemisphere, maintaining traditions that date back to Alexander the Great.
