The Bagh Saba Synagogue is a synagogue of Tehran's Jewish community located in the north-east of Tehran.
Description
The synagogue is designed as a cultural centre and consists of a library, restaurant and classes. The synagogue was founded in 1330 SH (1951–1952 AD) in Bagh Saba neighborhood near old Shemiran road. The synagogue was founded in a small room given by a resident of Moghaddam Street, Sulaiman Razeghi. Soon after, Salim Karandian, who was also a resident of Moghaddam Street, gave his house to the synagogue and agreed to pay for the utility charges of the synagogue. With an increase in Jewish relocation to this neighbourhood, the synagogue grew in size and infrastructure.
Soon after Salim Karandian moved from the neighbourhood and had to sell the property to others, such as Noorallah Hai. The synagogue has an area of 1,995 square metres (21,500 sq ft), with a smaller area on the second floor. Salim Karandian donated all of the marble stones for the building for free. The synagogue is currently located on Shariati street inside Moghaddam street.[1]
