​

The meaning of the term "synagogue" in Hebrew refers to a meeting place for prayer and unification. Throughout history the synagogue also became a community place for public affairs and Torah studies.

​

The Geulat Israel synagogue, located at Sheinkin garden, in the heart of Tel Aviv, is currently used only by the religious population of the neiberhood.

​

The new design concept was to turn the synagogue into a kind of "melting pot," in which a wide range of users will share a new  synagogue experience, while also allowing a private  & public experience as well.

​

By blurring the boundaries between the public garden and the synagogue, and by using a diverse hierarchy of spaces between public space and privat space,

I created a synagogue that also functions as a community center, suitable for all its users and its surroundings.
