The Maghen Abraham Synagogue (Arabic: كنيس ماغين أبراهام, romanized: Kanīs Mā'ghīn Abrā'hām; Hebrew: בית הכנסת מגן אברהם, romanized: Beth HaKenesset Magen Avraham) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the Jewish district of Wadi Abu Jamil in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.

An older synagogue in Beirut was demolished in 502 CE by a great earthquake which destroyed several cities in Lebanon.

"[5] The head of the Jewish community, Josef Farhi, helped in raising additional funds to complete the interior.

[7] In 1976, a year after the civil war began, Joseph Farhi transferred the Torah scrolls from the synagogue to Geneva and entrusted to renowned Jewish-Lebanese banker Edmond Safra, who preserved them in his bank's coffers.

[8] Although the greater part of the community had already emigrated after the 1958 Crisis and the Lebanese Civil War, there were approximately 100 Jewish families still living in the quarters of the synagogue prior to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

During the 1982 Lebanon war, Yasir Arafat's PLO forces and the Christian Phalangists were situated in Wadi Abu Jamil, leading to Israeli suspicion of there being Palestinian weapons in the quarter.

The synagogue was abandoned after Israeli shells hit the building, leaving rubble and debris strewn across the floor.

Also, Hussain Rahal, a spokesman for Hezbollah, said his group also supported the restoration of the synagogue: "We respect the Jewish religion just like we do Christianity.

Solidere SAL, civil-engineering company owned by the Hariri family, had also given $150,000 to each of 14 religious organizations that are restoring places of worship in Lebanon, about $2.1 million in all.
