The Haim Synagogue (Persian: کنیسه حییم, romanized: Kenisā-ye Hayim; Hebrew: בית הכנסת חַיִּים) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in 30 Tir Street, formerly known as Qavam-os-Saltane, in central Tehran, Iran.
[2][3][4][5] As of February 2016[update], the synagogue was opened only on the occasions of Shabbat and the High Holy Days, due mainly to emigration and decline in membership.
[5] The Haim Synagogue was built following the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in 1913, under the reign of Ahmad Shah Qajar, by two Iranian Jewish residents Eshagh Sedgh and Eshagh Moradoff.
[6] The building was designed by Azizollah Banayan, the only Jewish architect at the time.
[1] By the time of World War II, the Haim Synagogue hosted a number of Polish Jewish refugees.
