History

In 1349 SH Jews from Mashhad often used the Levian Synagogue. However, with an increase in Mashhadi Jewish population, the need for a separate synagogue increased. With the help of several other synagogues such as Levian, Yousefzadeh, and Rafie Nia, the land was purchased. The building is constructed on of land and contains four floors with a capacity of up to 400 people. Rabbi Eliahu ben Haim has been the chief Rabbi of the synagogue for many years.
