The Temple Beth-El (Hebrew: בית הכנסת בית-אל) is a Jewish synagogue in Casablanca, Morocco. While the city boasts more than 30 synagogues,[1][2] Beth-El is often considered the center piece of a once vibrant Jewish community. Its stained glass windows and other artistic elements, is what attracts tourists to this synagogue. The temple was completely refurbished in 1997.[3]
