Khorasaniha Synagogue is a synagogue located in the Zartosht street in Valiasr street in Tehran, Iran.
History[edit]
In 1349 SH (1970–1971 AD) Mashhadi Jews often used the Levian Synagogue. However, with an increase in Mashhadi Jewish population the need for a separate synagogue increased. With the help of several other synagogues such as Levian, Yousefzadeh, and Rafie Nia, the land was purchased. The building is constructed on 840 square metres (9,000 sq ft) of land and contains four floors with a capacity of up to 400 people. Rabbi Eliahu ben Haim has been the chief Rabbi[needs update] of the synagogue for many years.[1]
