Beth El Synagogue
The Beth El Synagogue, though often associated with Kolkata, is a historic Jewish place of worship located at 26 Pollock Street, in the bustling Barabazar area of Kolkata, West Bengal. Built in 1856, it is one of the oldest synagogues in India and a significant monument of national importance.
The synagogue was established by the Baghdadi Jewish community, with funding from prominent members like David Joseph Ezra and Ezekiel Judah.
The synagogue is renowned for its European-inspired architecture, featuring a tripartite facade, stained glass windows, and a clock tower. Inside, the prayer hall is adorned with intricate designs, including a women's gallery and a central pulpit. The synagogue is no longer active for regular prayers due to the dwindling Jewish population but is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
