Dunedin Synagogue

Dunedin City, New Zealand · built 1864

The Dunedin Synagogue is a Progressive Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in North Dunedin, on the South Island of New Zealand. It is reputedly the world's southernmost permanent synagogue, although a further synagogue operated briefly in King Edward Street, South Dunedin from late 2017 until 2019. The congregation's first synagogue was completed in 1863, enlarged at an adjacent location in 1881, and relocated to a more modest suburban structure, completed in 1965. The term, Dunedin Synagogue, can refer to the historic 1863 building, the old Dunedin 1881 synagogue, the current 1965 synagogue, and to the Dunedin Jewish Congregation.
