Antakya Synagogue

The Antakya Synagogue is located in Antakya, Turkey near the border with Syria. It served the few remaining members of the once thriving, 2,300-year-old Jewish community of ancient Antioch (largely composed of descendants of Syrian Jews ), and which was one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, that by 2014, had shrunk to fewer than 20 members.

The building was erected in 1890. Because Antakya is north of Jerusalem, the synagogue is built with the Torah Ark on the southern wall in a semi-circular apse. (Joel A. Zack, Historic synagogues of Turkey, 2008, p. 188)

The synagogue was badly damaged in the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake. The leaders of the Jewish community were also killed in the earthquake, and the entire Jewish community, numbering 14 members, was evacuated from Antakya.
