The Synagogue complex houses the Auckland Jewish Community Center as well as Kadimah College. The brick clad building, begun in 1967 and designed by Auckland architect John Goldwater, was awarded a 25 Year Award by the New Zealand Institute of Architects in 1995. The timeless interior is a simple but elegant elongated octagon lit from above by high clerestory windows. There is a Holocaust Memorial in the courtyard with plaques containing names of family members: "Remembrance is the Secret of Redemption". The shop sells a wide range of Kosher foods.
