Yenikoy Synagogue

Yenikoy Synagogue is a synagogue located in the north of the Bosphorus in the Yenikoy neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey. The synagogue, said to have been built by Abraham Salomon Camondo in the late 1800's, has been rejuvenated recently by the renewed presence of Jews in the area. Only Shabbat prayers are held.
