The Rabbi Dr. I. Goldstein Synagogue, also known as the Israel Goldstein Synagogue, is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on the Edmond J. Safra Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The synagogue was named in honor of Rabbi Israel Goldstein, an American-born Israeli rabbi, author, and Zionist leader.
Designed in the Organic style by two Israeli architects, the German-born Heinrich Heinz Rau and the Brazilian-born David Resnick, the synagogue building was listed as one of the "ten most beautiful synagogues in Israel," and called "without a doubt, a landmark in local architecture." In 1964, the synagogue design was awarded the Rechter Prize by the Israeli Architects Association.
