The Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv (Hebrew: בית כנסת הגדול) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 110 Allenby Street, Tel Aviv, Israel. The synagogue is sited just east of the Shalom Meir Tower. It was designed by Yehuda Magidovitch and completed in 1926 in the Art Deco style. The synagogue underwent significant renovations in 1969, including the addition of Modernist façade with arches.
The synagogue was situated in the heart of Little Tel Aviv, but today it stands in the city's bustling business and financial district. Due to demographic changes in the 1960s, its congregation has dwindled, with the main sanctuary is primarily used for Jewish weddings and special occasions. Daily services are held in a small synagogue on the lower level.
