Overview The Ashkenazi Jewish community settled in Montevideo in the first decades of the 20th century. First they had a small temple located at Durazno street. Afterwards a more modern temple opened its doors in 1981. That building in the Centro neighborhood operated until 2024; that year, it was acquired by the Margarita Xirgu Multidisciplinary School of Dramatic Art.
The current building is located in Punta Carretas. The services are conducted by Chief Rabbi Ben-Tzion Spitz.
