This study shows new restoration concepts about interventions and construction materials used in historical monuments. The study views the specific case of Kahal Zur Israel (first synagogue of the Americas), and what exactly motivated the restoration of this monument. Some questions considered were: which was the historical context of the time? What was the history of the monument in itself? Which were the intervention criteria adopted, based on the newest theories, while at the same time preserving some of the present recommendations of the heritage letters? The study also described some of the archaeological discoveries that were carried out with the objective of gathering information to best execute the restoration project. The intervention tried to adapt the present necessities of the locale, preserve its historical value, and promote its financial self-sustainability. The procedure included considerations done on other monuments where modern materials were used so that contemporary uses could be adapted (commerce, tourism, services, communications and environmental comfort). At the same time the preservation of the cultural values of the historical center was observed. Moreover, the procedures show and differentiate the modern materials from the old, avoiding a false representation of the historical and artistic value of the locale. A good example of this at Kahal Zur Israel, is the complementary annexed bloc, situated in the depths of the synagogue. In general, modern building materials give a new sense of intervention to the monuments.
