A hall without electric lighting
Candlelight and tall windows shape the space differently from modern museum lighting. Look at the benches, floor and hechal, and respect the areas reserved for religious use.
Silver and books in the treasure chamber
Ritual objects and printed works connect community, worship and craftsmanship. Read about function and provenance before you view decoration as mere art.
The calendar follows religious life
It is closed on Saturday and has shorter seasonal hours on Friday; Jewish holidays change the schedule further. That rhythm reflects its role as a living synagogue.
Before you go
Hours vary greatly from month to month: usually Sunday–Thursday from 11.00, shorter on Friday and closed on Saturday; consult the JCK calendar.
