Nomer Tamid Synagogue

The Nomer Tamid Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Nomer Tamid w Białymstoku; Hebrew: בית כנסת נומר תמיד, lit.'Synagogue of the Eternal Flame'), also known as the Nomer Tamid Beth Midrash or Ner Tamid Beth Midrasz, was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and wooden synagogue, that was located in Białystok, in the Podlaskie Voivodeship of Poland.

Completed in 1703 or 1711, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis in 1939.

Funding for the building was provided by Jan Klemens Branicki. The former synagogue was located on Bóżniczej Street, across from the Old Synagogue and the Great Synagogue.
