The Vilna Shul was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 18 Phillips Street, on the north slope of Beacon Hill, in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. The synagogue building was built in 1919 for a congregation by immigrants primarily from Vilna, Lithuania.
The synagogue closed in the 1980s and has since been repurposed as The Vilna Shul – Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture, a cultural center, community center, and living museum with a focus on Jewish history.
