The Etz Hayyim Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת עץ חיים) is the last remaining synagogue on the island. From the 17th century until the deportation of the Jews of Crete in 1944, the building was the place of worship for a Jewish community.[1] It was then used for mundane purposes and was partially destroyed or damaged through decades of neglect. Between 1996 and 1999, Etz-Hayyim was renovated and has been used as a synagogue again since 1999. The Jewish community celebrates Kabbalat Sabbath every Friday evening, and several lectures, concerts, weddings and bar mitzvah celebrations have been held here since then. The rest of the time the synagogue is open to visitors.

In addition to the main room of the synagogue, the building contains a small library, two courtyards (one of which contains some graves) and a mikveh, a ritual bath.
