The Tallinn Synagogue, called Beit Bella, is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue inaugurated on May 16, 2007. The infobox credits KOKO Architects and lists the style as Modernist, with glass and concrete as materials. The article calls it an ultramodern, airy structure and says it was privately funded. The infobox gives a cost of $4 million.

It is named in memory of Bella Barskaya, wife of the economist and academician Mihhail Bronštein. The article reports it as the first synagogue to open in Estonia since World War II.

The hall seats 180, with extra seating for up to 230 for concerts and public events. It is an active congregation led by Rabbi Shmuel Kot. The article gives no visiting information.
