In the course of the repair work, the building was expanded by a women's entrance. A ritual bath (Mikwe) was built on the east side. The latter is the only ritual bathroom of a Jewish community in Austria outside of Vienna. The administrative space of the cultural community is also housed in the east wing of the synagogue. The synagogue also follows the Orthodox rite today, which provides for a separation of the sexes in the prayers. Today, the Israeli cultural community of Salzburg has around 100 members, and since President Elie Rosen took office in January 2023, prayers take place regularly in the synagogue on Friday evenings and Saturday morning.
