The Podhajcer Shul is a former Orthodox synagogue, now private residence, located at 108 East First Street, just north of Houston Street, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, in New York City, New York, in the United States.
Although the building has been repurposed to residential use, its façade retains a prominent Star of David, as well as a stone arch inscribed "Beth HaKnesset Ansche Podhajce," which means "Synagogue of the People of Podhajce," and two capitals in the shape of Torah scrolls.
