Bet Israel Synagogue (Istanbul)

The Bet Israel Synagogue (Hebrew: קהל קדוש בית ישראל), also known as the Beit Israel Synagogue, is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Efe Street, in Şişli, Istanbul, in the Istanbul Province of Turkey.

The Bet Israel Synagogue, together with the Neve Shalom Synagogue, is supported and governed by the Neve Shalom Foundation. A synagogue was initially built in the 1920s and enlarged into its present size in the early 1950s due to the majority of the Jewish population moving to that area and the immigration from Nazi occupied territories. It is currently the most populated synagogue in Turkey. The Bet Israel Synagogue can be visited by appointment with the Neve Shalom Foundation.

The synagogue was targeted in the 2003 Istanbul bombings.
