Zedek ve Shalom


Tzedek ve-Shalom also written as Zedek ve Shalom, (Peace and Justice) is a historic synagogue in Paramaribo, Suriname. It was built for a Sephardic congregation in 1736. The synagogue stopped being used when the area's remaining Jewish residents combined congregations at Neveh Shalom Synagogue. It is being used as a computer repair store and its furnishings are at the Israel Museum.

Zedek ve Shalom was sited in a large courtyard, built of wood in a Neoclassical architecture style with arched windows and bench seating, and painted white. It has a wide "basillica-like" hall with a tevah (reader's platform) opposite the heikhal (Torah ark). Decoration included brass chandeliers from the Netherlands. It has a sandy floor.
