Active synagogue in Tehran with Jewish community complex – school, mikveh, and kosher restaurant since 1965.
The Abrishami Synagogue in Tehran's Kakh Shomali district was inaugurated in 1965. It forms part of a Jewish community compound that includes a school, a beit midrash, a mikveh, and a kosher restaurant. Iran's Jewish community is one of the oldest in the world and has maintained a presence in Tehran despite political tensions. For visitors interested in the religious heritage of the Middle East, the synagogue is a rare witness to Jewish continuity within an Islamic republic.
