Anshei Israel Synagogue
Anshei Israel Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Lisbon, Connecticut
The Anshei Israel Synagogue stands as a 20 by 30 feet gable-roofed clapboarded building with a central projecting tower topped with a Magen David.
Established in 1936 with fifteen founding families, the synagogue operated until the early 1980s when declining membership led to its closure.
The interior contains a raised bimah and ark at the front, with five wooden backless benches arranged for congregation seating during religious services.
The Town of Lisbon currently maintains ownership of the property at 142 Newent Road through the Lisbon Historical Society.
Despite being an Orthodox synagogue, the congregation allowed members to drive partially to services and did not enforce strict gender separation rules.
