Neve Shalom Synagogue is a synagogue in the Karaköy quarter of Beyo?lu district, in Istanbul, Turkey.
The synagogue was built in response to an increase in the Jewish population in the old Galata neighborhood (today encompassed by Beyo?lu district) in the late 1930s. A Jewish primary school was torn down in 1949 for that purpose and the synagogue was built on its ruins. The construction completed in 1951. Its architects were Elyo Ventura and Bernar Motola, young Turkish Jews. Neve Shalom is the central and largest Sephardic synagogue in Istanbul, open to service especially on Shabbats, High Holidays, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and weddings.
