The Chassidim Shul, also known as the Chabad House, is a former Hasidic Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Yeoville, Johannesburg, in the district of Gauteng, South Africa.

[1] In retrospect “that little shul in Yeoville” has proven to be a powerful engine that changed the face of Jewish South Africa.

It brought Yiddishkeit, Lubavitch and the Rebbe into the hearts of literally thousands of Jews through the establishment of more than a dozen Chabad shuls in Johannesburg, Natal and the Cape.

[4] A beautiful building, Chassidim Shul's modern and distinctive design was ahead of its time: It is notable externally for its vigorous, sculptural nature.

The roof is a heavy V-shape protecting the simple shape of the building which consists of an enclosure by screens of different density and transparency – warm-coloured stone and modelled grilles and facings in terrazzo by the sculptor Edoardo Villa.
