The Etz Haim Synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת עץ חיים) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Melidoni Street 8, in the Thiseio area of Athens, Greece. The synagogue was completed in 1904 by Greek Romaniote Jews[1] who came from Ioannina, and for this reason it is also called the "Romanian" or "Yannonian" synagogue by the oldest members of the community. The synagogue is located across the street from the Beth Shalom Synagogue.
