The synagogue in the Rue Pavee is a synagogue in Paris , located at number 10 Rue Pavee , the heart of the neighborhood 's Jewish Marais in the 4th arrondissement.

The building was completed in 1913 by the architect Hector Guimard , the Parisian master of Art Nouveau , for Agudas Hakehilos ( - , Union of communities), an association of nine companies after Jewish orthodox home mainly Russian , chaired by Joseph Landau. It reflects the influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe in the early twentieth century. The construction is hollow on agglomerated stone reinforcement in concrete. It was officially opened June 7, 1914, but she was already in service since October 1913.

With only a strip of land skewed and very narrow (5 m 23 m), Guimard built while the building height. Crane, vertical (12 m) is accentuated by the narrow windows and pilasters continuing. The interior volume is fully vertical. It has two floors of mezzanines on both sides of the central span. The nave is lit by skylights in the ceiling and a large bay window in the wall.

The furniture (lamps, chandeliers, sconces and benches) and the decor stylized plant staff and railings cast are also creations of Hector Guimard. Found in the files of the same undulating movement benches on the facade and are decorated with triangular patterns. Originally, there was no Star of David on the facade but also a triangle, as can be seen in old photos. The Star of David may date to the postwar restoration.

The synagogue, funded entirely by private funds, was inaugurated on 7 June 1914 without official representative of the Central Consistory.

It was then partially restored (including the front door was not only summarily, and not remitted to the original state).

According Magaly Flores-Lonjou and Francis Messner , the plan of the synagogue, where the space for worship is rejected at the rear of the building, such as classrooms and offices could occupy the front part, shows a willingness to include the worship of other activities, will feature Orthodox Judaism, opposing it in the synagogues of Presbytery .

The synagogue is still in business. It is part of the non-Orthodox synagogues consistorial. It is not possible to visit in ordinary times, but only on special occasions such as Heritage Days. The synagogue, whose community has long been led successively by Rabbi Joel Leib HaLevi Herzog ( 1914 - 1,934 ), and Samuel Jacob Rubinstein , then by Rabbi Yaakov Chaim Rottenberg is now run by his son, Mordechai Rottenberg.
