The Windhoek Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located 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. The synagogue was founded by Rabbi I. L. Landau in 1924. In November 2015, the commu
nity announced plans to close and sell the synagogue, as none of the remaining members of the community viewed themselves as Orthodox Jews. Yet, in 2021, it was reported that the congregation was active. Another synagogue existed in Keetmanshoop from 1927 and 1973.
