The opening as it read in 2025

Goldstein Synagogue , also known as the Israel Goldstein Synagogue , is a Jewish congregation and synagogue , located on the Edmond J. Safra Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem . The synagogue was named in honor of Rabbi Israel Goldstein , an American-born Israeli rabbi, author, and Zionist leader. Designed in the Organic style by two Israeli architects, the German -born Heinrich Heinz Rau and the Brazilian -born David Resnick , the synagogue building was listed as one of the "ten most beautiful synagogues in Israel," and called "without a doubt, a landmark in local architecture." In 1964, the synagogue design was awarded the Rechter Prize by the Israeli Architects Association.
