Designed by Albert Arditi, the synagogue was completed in 1954. As a result of the increase of the Jewish population in the area, the synagogue is the most populated one on the Asian side of the city and visits and participation in prayers is possible by contacting the Chief Rabbinate. The synagogue was active with the demand made to the Turkish authorities by the Chief Rabbinate on the 1 April 1961.[2]
