The Remah Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Remu), is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 40 Szeroka Street, in the historic Kazimierz district of Kraków, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland.
Designed by Stanisław Baranek in the Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles and completed in 1557, the synagogue is named in honor of Rabbi Moses Isserles, known by the Hebrew acronym ReMA (רמ״א, pronounced RaMUH) who's famed for writing a collection of commentaries and additions that complement Rabbi Yosef Karo's Shulchan Aruch.
