About

The Heichal Shlomo (Hebrew: היכל שְׁלֹמֹה, romanized: Heikhal Shlomo, lit. 'Palace of Solomon'; hence Hekhal of Solomon) is a building, which houses a synagogue, Jewish museum and teacher's college, located opposite the Leonardo Plaza Hotel, on King George Street, Jerusalem, Israel.

The building served as the seat of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel until 1992. It now serves as the Jerusalem Campus of Herzog College for their Masters in Education program, and houses the Jewish Heritage Center and Museum of Jewish Art.
