Congregation Ahavas Achim Anshi Austria, also known as Congregation B'Nai Israel, is a historic former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Rochester, Monroe County, New York, in the United States.[2]

The synagogue was built in 1928, and is a two-story, Georgian Revival style brick building with decorative cast stone classical details. It is five-bays wide with the end bays being square towers and a recessed triangular parapet is between the two towers. The front façade features a portico with four Ionic order round columns. The building was used as a synagogue until 2004.[3][4]: 3, 7
