TheRabbi Shalom Zaoui Synagogue (Hebrew:בית הכנסת רבי שלום זאווי;Arabic:كنيس ربي شالوم الزاوي) is asynagogue located in the Mellah (Jewish quarter) of the medina ofRabat,Morocco.[1]
The synagogue is located near Bab Diouana and contiguous to theAndalusian wall of the medina. It was named afterRabbi Shalom Zaoui (born circa 1839 and died circa 1918) who was respected and revered by his community,[2] as it used to be his house.[1]
The synagogue is accessible by a courtyard painted in bright red. It follows theMoorish architectural style that can be identified through the three-lobed shapes on the windows and the lamps similar to the lamps in mosques.[1]
