The Adealaide Hebrew Congregation is a Modern Orthodox synagogue and congregation in Adelaide, in South Australia. The congregation was first established in 1848, and the synagogue was completed in 1850. A larger synagogue building was constructed in 1870 in the CBD. In 1990, the congregation relocated to a new purpose-built synagogue in Glenside, where it shared a campus with the Jewish Day School, Massada College. The school closed in 2011 and the synagogue has since returned to a new location on Grote Street in the CBD.

History

Emanuel Solomon and John Lazar were among the founders of the congregation. The congregation's first building, completed in 1850, was built in the Egyptian Revival style. Judah Moss Solomon, Mayor of Adelaide, was the congregation's first president. Subsequent presidents included Adelaide mayor, Lewis Cohen.

In 2023, it was announced that the Congregation had purchased a new home on Grote Street, in Adelaide's CBD. This came after failed efforts to colocate with the city's Progressive Jewish synagogue, Beit Shalom. The decision to leave Glenside was made as that building was designed to meet the needs of a larger congregation at the time. The property the congregation purchased was built in 1915 as a Seventh-day Adventist Mission Hall and subsequently housed the Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union of Australia and then a performing arts venue.
