Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Haim Synagogue (Шаблон:Lang-fa, Шаблон:Transl; Шаблон:Lang-he) is an Orthodox synagogue in Tehran, Iran.[1] It is located in 30 Tir Street, formerly known as Qavam-os-Saltane, in central Tehran.[2][3][4]

In recent years, the synagogue is only opened on the occasions of Shabbat and the High Holy Days, due mainly to emigration and decline in membership.[4]

History

The Haim Synagogue was built following the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in 1913, under the reign of Ahmad Shah Qajar, by two Iranian Jewish residents Eshagh Sedgh and Eshagh Moradoff.[5] It has often been considered the first urban synagogue in Iran. Prior to its construction, most synagogues in Iran were built in ghettos.[5]

The building was designed by Azizollah Banayan, the only Jewish architect at the time.[6]

World War II

By the time of World War II, the Haim Synagogue hosted a number of Polish Jewish refugees.[7] After an increase in the number of Polish Jewish refugees, a new Ashkenazi synagogue by the name of Danial Synagogue was built near the Haim Synagogue in 1940.[5]

Operation Ezra and Nehemiah

In the 1950s, the Haim Synagogue was used as a refugee camp to host a number of Iraqi Jewish refugees, who immigrated to Israel via Iran as part of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.[7][4]
