Шаблон:Short description The Antakya Synagogue is located in Antakya, Turkey near the border with Syria. It served the few remaining members of the once thriving, 2,300-year-old Jewish community of ancient Antioch (largely composed of descendants of Syrian Jews[1]), and which was one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, that by 2014, had shrunk to fewer than 20 members.[2][3][4]

The building was erected in 1890. Because Antakya is north of Jerusalem, the synagogue is built with the Torah Ark on the southern wall in a semi-circular apse. (Joel A. Zack, Historic synagogues of Turkey, 2008, p. 188)

The synagogue was badly damaged in the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.[5] The leaders of the Jewish community were also killed in the earthquake, and the entire Jewish community, numbering 14 members, was evacuated from Antakya.[6][7]
