At the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Jewish families from Central Europe, fleeing poverty and pogroms came to Vincennes.

On the 13 November 1903, the community moved leasing a property at 30 rue Celine Robert where the new synagogue was to be built.

In 1960, following the influx of Jewish refugees from North Africa, the community of Vincennes, hitherto almost entirely Ashkenazi, adapted adopting an increasing number of Sephardic services, mostly under a Tunisian rite.

The walls are pure white, with many silver candlesticks and according to the Sephardic rite, the bimah is located in the middle of the room.

The women's gallery on the first floor, walls west, north and south, has no railing, but is protected by glass panels.
