Visited this synagogue in April. it is a huge an amazing structure with beautiful exterior and interior design. There has obviously been no expense spared on the building materials or décor in this building. The mosaic floor inside is almost too precious to walk on.

The architecture is extraordinary, the colors are beautiful. A lot of attention is given, during the guided tour, on the memorial and the garden.

Tours, in several languages, are available regularly throughout the day, and included in the price of the ticket. The tour commences inside the Synagogue and lasts about 30... More

Tour guides are members of the Congregation. Ours was knowledgeable and articulate. The Synagogue has a great history. The architecture, the politics and the suffering weave together into an indelible story. The Tree of Life and the Memorial Garden are beautiful and touching. The "leaves" on the tree shimmered in the breeze the day we were there. They seemed almost... More
