Great visit, friendly staff and amazing architecture and history musy visit
Well preserved and maintained synagogue from mediaeval Amsterdam, with a well done museum across the road.
A beautiful building well worth visiting. Outside is a statue of a docker, as a memorial to the dockers who went on strike in world war two in an attempt to stop the deportation of Dutch Jews by the Germans. The dockers leaders were shot.
It is still a candlelit synagogue, no heating system and no electricity—perhaps a reflection of today’s Jewish community in Amsterdam? Anyway, it fits into the imagination of the congregation that excommunicated Spinoza and humiliated Da Costa. It carries an entrance fee of 18 Euros, which is valid for one-month and also for the Jewish museum across the street.
It is still functional house of prayer for the Portuguese Jewish people. It is a beautiful building inside out. It was built in 17th century without heat and light. Ans this building is still preserved as it was built.
Included with the ticket of the Jewish History Museum across the street. This was a beautiful site. Audio tour included. Make sure you walk around the entire outside of the main building to see all the different areas/rooms that you can also view. Almost left without realizing there was so much more to see.
Beautiful synagogue that is still functioning, although it is also a historic site as well. The architecture is beautiful, and the place is very special, highly recommend the visit, and spending some quiet time, listening to the audio tours.
