The Maghen Abraham Synagogue (Arabic: كنيس ماغين أبراهام – Kanīs Mā’ghīn Abrā’hām; Hebrew: בית הכנסת מגן אברהם – Beth HaKenesset Maghen Abraham) is one of the main synagogues in Lebanon. There was an older synagogue in Beirut which was demolished in 502 by a great earthquake which destroyed several cities in Syria. Located in the former Jewish district of Wadi Abu Jamil in Beirut it was abandoned after Israeli shelling destroyed the synagogue during the Lebanese Civil War.
