TheBurgazada Synagogue, also known as theOhel Yaakov Synagogue, is aJewish congregation andsynagogue, located onBurgazada, in thePrinces' Islands, offIstanbul, in theIstanbul Province ofTurkey.
There were few Jewish families in the 1950s in Burgaz (Antigone). By the 1960s, the need to have a synagogue arose and permission was granted in 1968 to build one. It is open for services only during summer months, like the other synagogues of thePrince Islands.[2]
