Ohavi Zedek (Hebrew for "Lovers of Justice") is a Conservative congregation and synagogue located at 188 North Prospect Street, in Burlington, Vermont, in the United States.

History

Founded in 1876, it is the oldest Jewish congregation in Vermont. The synagogue's original building, Old Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, a brick Gothic Revival structure erected in 1885, is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the United States. The building, at the corner of Archibald and Hyde Streets in Burlington, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The congregation moved to its present location on North Prospect Street in 1952. The Archibald Street building is now occupied by Congregation Ahavath Gerim.

In 2019, the building was vandalized with inflammatory posters by Patriot Front.
