Beth Shalom Synagogue (Athens)
The Beth Shalom Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 5 Melidoni Street, in Athens, Greece. The synagogue serves as the principal place of Jewish worship in Athens. Built of white Pentelic marble, the synagogue was designed by Emmanuel Lazaridis in an austere Greek Revival style. Completed in 1935, the building was renovated in 1975. The congregation worships in the Eastern Sephardi rite, and is led by Rabbi Gabriel Negrin, who was elected by the Council of Athens’ Jewish Community following the 2014 death of the long time leader, Rabbi Jacob Arar.
