The Maltz Performing Arts Center, officially the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center, is a 1200-seat historic arts and religious venue on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, located at 1855 Ansel Road, in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The center is contained within the Temple–Tifereth Israel synagogue building, located at Silver Park, on the border between the suburbs of Hough and University Circle.[2]

The converted Reform Jewish synagogue, known as The University Temple, The Temple, or the Silver Sanctuary, serves as the main performance venue of the Case Western Reserve music department and holds campus special events. Silver Hall is used by the local Jewish congregation for annual religious and special events.
