The Temple Beth-El (Hebrew: בית הכנסת בית־אל, romanized: Béit hak'néset Bēṯ-ʾEl, lit. 'Synagogue of the House of God'; Arabic: معبد بيت إيل, romanized: Maʿbad bayt ʾĪl, lit. 'Temple of the House of El') is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 67 Rue Jaber ben Hayane, in the Sidi Belyout district of Casablanca, Morocco.




Overview


While Casablanca has more than 30 synagogues, Beth-El is often considered the center piece of a once vibrant Jewish community. Its Marc Chagall-inspired stained glass windows and other artistic elements, attract tourists to the synagogue. The temple was completely refurbished in 1997.
