The Haim Synagogue (Persian: کنیسای حییم‎ Kenisā ye Hayim; Hebrew: בית הכנסת חַיִּים‬) is an Orthodox synagogue in Tehran, Iran.[1] It is located at 30 Tir Street, formerly known as Qavam-os-Saltane, in central Tehran.[2][3][4]


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

History


Following the Constitutional Revolution, the Haim Synagogue was built in 1913 by Iranian Jewish scholar Solayman Haïm, under the reign of Ahmad Shah Qajar.[5] It has often been considered the first urban synagogue in Iran. Prior to its construction, most synagogues in Iran were located in ghettos.[5]



World War II


By the time of World War II, the Haim Synagogue hosted Polish Jewish refugees.[6] The increase of Polish Jewish refugees in 1940 resulted in the establishment of a new Ashkenazi synagogue, the Danial Synagogue, next to the Haim Synagogue.[5]



Operation Ezra and Nehemiah


In the 1950s, the Haim Synagogue was used as a refugee camp by fugitive Iraqi Jews, who immigrated to Israel via Iran,[6][4] as part of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.
