The Windhoek Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. It is the only active synagogue in the country and is owned and operated by the Windhoek Hebrew Congregation.[1][2] The synagogue was founded by Rabbi I. L. Landau in 1924.[2]
In November 2015, the community announced plans to close and sell the synagogue, as none of the remaining members of the community viewed themselves as Orthodox Jews.
Another synagogue existed in Keetmanshoop from 1927 and 1973.
