The Ahavas Sholem Synagogue is a historic religious building at 30 White Street in New Haven, Connecticut. It was better known as the White Street Shul. It is a two-story structure built of brick and limestone in 1928 for a Jewish congregation established in 1912. The building has a particularly handsome Classical Revival facade, with limestone on the first level, which is continued on the second level around that floor's windows. A panel above the main entrance identifies the congregation and the year of the building's construction in the Hebrew calendar. Some of its original windows are incised with the Star of David, which is repeated in a pediment at the roof level. Jewish services were conducted here until the 1960s. The building is now used by the Church of Christ and is known as the Thomas Chapel.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.^[1]
