The Bet Yaakov Synagogue (Turkish: Bet Yaakov Sinagogu; Hebrew: קהל קדוש בית יעקב) is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Icadiye Street, in Kuzguncuk, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, in Istanbul, in the Istanbul Province of Turkey.
The commonly accepted construction date of the Kuzguncuk Synagogue is 1878. However, more recent research indicates that as early as 1862, the Ottoman Sultan granted permission for the synagogue's renovation. This suggests that the building may have been erected at an earlier date.[2] The Jewish population of Kuzguncuk moved away in recent years, but the synagogue it is kept alive by worshippers whose families originated there. The synagogue is open, yet only open for Shabbat services.[3]
