The Temple Beth-El (he|בית הכנסת בית־אל|translit=Béit hak'néset Bēṯ-ʾEl|lit=Synagogue of the House of God; ar|معبد بيت إيل|translit=Maʿbad bayt ʾĪl|lit=Temple of the House of [[El_(deity)|El]]) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 67 Rue Jaber ben Hayane, in the Sidi Belyout district of Casablanca, Morocco.
While Casablanca has more than 30 synagogues,[1] [2] Beth-El is often considered the center piece of a once vibrant Jewish community. Its Marc Chagall-inspired stained glass windows[3] and other artistic elements, attract tourists to the synagogue.[4] [5] The temple was completely refurbished in 1997.[6]
