About this venue

The Vilna Shul, Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture, is a hidden gem in the heart of the historic Beacon Hill neighborhood. Founded in 1919, The Vilna is the last-remaining immigrant era synagogue building in Boston and now serves as a center for Jewish culture and communal engagement. The century-old synagogue building combines the charm of an historic sanctuary with modern event space for hosting private life-cycle, social, or corporate events. The Vilna offers a wonderful setting for family events such as b’nai mitzvah, weddings, baby namings, or memorial services. The Vilna team will work with you to accommodate your event rental needs and our recommended vendors are equipped to guide you through the process of transforming our blank canvas into a venue that aligns with your vision.

Many of the architectural and design details from this 100-year-old immigrant era sanctuary are present today.
