The synagogue stopped being used in 1999 when the area's remaining Jewish residents combined congregations at Neveh Shalom Synagogue. It is being used as a computer repair store. Its furnishings are in the collection of the Israel Museum.^[3]

The building is sited in a large courtyard, built of wood in a Neoclassical style with arched windows and bench seating, and painted white. It has a wide basilica-like hall with a tevah (reader's platform) opposite the heikhal (Torah ark). Decoration included brass chandeliers from the Netherlands. It has a sandy floor.^[2]
