Rah-e Danesh Synagogue

Rah-e Danesh Synagogue is a synagogue located near Yusefabad street in Tehran, Iran.[1]

History

In the decade of the 1340s SH (1961–1971 AD) the number of Jews in the Yusefabad neighborhood increased dramatically. Thus a group of Jews decided to create the Synagogue in the Yusefabad street in twentieth alley. The synagogue, which also contains a Jewish school, was built in an area of 240 square metres (2,600 sq ft). The synagogue experienced major reconstruction in 1388 SH (2009–2010 AD).[2]
