This is a beautiful Synagogue in Jerusalem, Israel. They have beautiful glass windows that tell the stories of Israels history. They have a reform temple in which the females sit upstairs and the males sit downstairs.

As an agnostic tourist I enjoyed visited this synagogue for the fascinating stained glass windows and ‘soviet’ style decor (not sure if that’s the exact style but at least it’s what I think of when I see big structures and brutalist designs).Free to pop in and generally open to public. I assume it’s busy during ceremonies etc.

Wonderful for those looking for a choir type service. Irrelevant for those looking to sing along. Seats are old fashioned and not too comfortable. Nevertheless - a must see location. An incredibly unique and beautiful Shul.

Beautiful place, largest collection of Mezuzahs in the world, definitely worth visiting

Wow! What an incredible Shabbat morning. Really special place.

Monumental and well organized. Cantors and choir at each service make it always a beautiful experience. A minus is the numerous tourists

As a foreign visitor youre able to visit this synagogue with minor restrictions. You can attend a prayer and hear their songs. A bit odd to be sitting as an outsider amongst these people. To be honest this actually frightened me a little bit. Youll sometimes be given a surprised look but as long as you respect the Orthodox believers, youll be treated with respect in return.

It is a must to pray at this synagogue , especially when they have the cantor and the choir ... I love love love it. Its so beautiful. Words cannot do justice..

Unique.

The Great Synagogue is exactly that. A huge Orthodox synagogue in the heart of Jerusalem. The womens section is upstairs. This is something I prefer. The problem for me is that this synagogue is too large and impersonal. I much prefer a small intimate setting for praying.

Really cool until i realized that there were not fornite giftcards in the shop!!! I

Needs better maintenance and modernization. Im referring to the classrooms and auditorium and not the synagogue.

This is a very inspirational place for me and also a place that is comfortable with strangers not like many other Jewish temples in Jerusalem. Every last Saturday of the Jewish month (no easy translation into regular calander. Ask a Jewish friend or check online) is the major monthly service.

When visiting Jerusalem I went to the Friday night service at this shul and it was amazing. The interior is beautiful. 🌟 ☺ ✡

A highlight of my visits is always Shabbat at the Great Synagogue. Services upstairs in the main sanctuary are in the traditional Ashkenazic cantorial style. A Sephardic minyan meets on the first floor.

Beautiful synagogue with people from around the world.

The tfilla with cantor & choir is world class. A must for visitors on Shabbat.

Havent been inside, but looks majestic from the street.

Very Beautiful Shul.

I went to the new Great Synagogue in 2006, 4 years after if was opened, as a visitor, mid-week. It looked really grand, with a doorkeeper and leaflets being handed out explaining all that had been done in building this amazing place of worship to the living God!I returned last week - 25 years later - as a visitor on a Monday, hoping it would still be an amazing place of worship. How sad it looked!! Really showing its age with paint peeling off outside, just above the entrance - surely for G_ds house, this could be sorted properly for not a lot of cost!. There was no doorkeeper to welcome people, no leaflets, poorly lit, and visitors could only go up to the womens section to view the interior - by which I assume they meant men and women visitors. Directions to the womens section were very mis-leading.Please - restore the Synagogue to be pleasing to G_d and to others who come to seek him in this Holy Place.

Lovely experience for those who love cantorial music

Great pork sandwitches

Praying and superb concert in one venue!

This is not a temple as described above but an Orthodox Synagogue.Nusach Ashkenaz

Great place

There was a show of forgiveness with Naftali Kampa, which ended less than an hour and a half ago, it was both exciting and fun, there is nothing like it in preparation for the terrible days of the UAV:

The Great Synagogue is a synagogue on King George Street in Jerusalem, next to the Heichal Shlomo building and next to the Yeshurun ​​Synagogue. Since its inauguration, in 1982, the Great Synagogue has served as a spiritual and religious center that attracts tourists and visitors mainly on Saturdays and holidays, so the synagogue holds regular and solemn prayers. An impressive collection of mezuzahs is displayed in the entrance hall of the synagogue.As early as 1923, the Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook and Rabbi Yaakov Meir, published a call for the establishment of a large and central synagogue in Jerusalem, which was developing. In 1958, the Shlomo Hall was inaugurated, which also included a synagogue, which some saw as a response to the call for the establishment of a central synagogue in Jerusalem. Over the years, however, the small-scale synagogue did not meet the needs of worshipers and visitors, which increased as the synagogue became famous. After a few years it was decided to move the prayers to the large entrance hall of Heichal Shlomo, but the crowd multiplied rapidly, and many believed that a central synagogue should finally be built that would be an integral part of Jerusalems religious life, and that there would be a large synagogue. Large number of visitors and worshipers.For this purpose, the plot adjacent to the Shlomo Hall was designated. The donor for the construction of the building was Sir Isaac Wolfson, who also donated the money for the construction of the Shlomo Hall. The architects of the building were Meir Rubin and Alexander Friedman, who also designed the Yeshurun ​​Synagogue. The architects now had the opportunity to implement many construction plans that were originally designed for Yeshurun. The contractor was Matityahu Lifshitz. The living spirit behind the synagogue building was Dr. Moshe Avraham Yaffe, who founded Heichal Shlomo and served for many years as chairman of the executive committee of Heichal Shlomo.Apart from the main contribution of the Wolfson couple from England, whose name is fixed in the outer plaza of the synagogue, there were many other donors who assisted in the erection of the structure and their names are engraved on a wall near the steps leading to the prayer hall. The Wolfson couple dedicated the building in memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust and to the victims of the Israel Defense Forces.A cornerstone for the synagogue was laid in June 1969 [1].The inauguration of the Great Synagogue was held on Tu BAv 5752, 1982. About $ 18 million was invested in the construction of the synagogue.On the night of Yom Kippur 2004, a price tag crime was committed that included spray-painting graffiti on the buildings courtyard with the slogan For the sin you committed before the Palestinians in the occupation and murder (based on the confession in the holiday prayers For the sin we committed before you ...). Only on Yom Kippur 2020 did a user registered with the nickname Rabbi on Edge on Twitter ascertain the execution of the act, justifying the date of the confession for the statute of limitations and therefore the fact that he left Israel [2].Among the many worshipers who visit the synagogue, well-known public figures in the State of Israel stand out, chief among them the chief rabbis: Rabbi David Lau, Rabbi Israel Meir Lau (former chief rabbi, now rabbi of Tel Aviv) and Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef (son of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who also used to To pray there as above), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Shimon Peres, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Herzog and more. This adds to the nationalism and stateliness that prevail in the synagogue.

Lugar muy Importante para El Pueblo Judío en plena Jerusalén el cual para tiempos modernos yo en lo personal traspolo un invaluable valor histórico y Cultural por su Ubicación en la capital eterna de Israel

A perfect prayer experience on special Saturdays having a choir

The great synagogue of Jerusalem is located at 56.king George street jerusalem. Israel Rabbi Zalman Druck is the spiritual leader and founder of the synagogue.

The story of my people. The feeling is just overwhelming.

Ahh .. the prayers on Shabbat. With great cantors. A choir conducted by maestro Eli Yaffe. Amazing acoustics. Just an extraordinary experience. A place that hosted the greatest cantors. Yitzhak Meir Helfgott for Derech Yaakov Motzen and Chaim Adler and Dudu Fischer. Together with the choir. Comfortable seating. High womens help. A real Jerusalem place

What a place a place of incredible holiness

As of 8/3/2020 the synagogue is not really prettyPoor maintenance and on the other hand liquids and waterReally dirty and smelly toiletsThere is no guided tour and no explanationThose who are not religious and believe can give up

A very interesting place. For me, a bit exotic because of different customs and decor other than in Catholic temples

Five stars because they managed to make Spechtel in the ceiling.

Highly recommended for tourists, the place is open until 13:00

Great place there is no community life so there are prayers on Shabbat with really beautiful cantor

A special place when the rabbi Rabbi Druck of the synagogue receives everyone with a beautiful reception

Its cool

A powerful place with a lot of sanctity. I was last Saturday of course for a few minutes to hear the choir. It was an imaginative and one-time experience (I always pray in a p. Style and have never heard anything like this) I just enjoyed the experience of the voices and the amazing ability of the cantors to perform the Lord God.There are also Spanish counties and ancient things that can be seen and impressed. highly recommend

Great and beautiful prayer place with exciting prayer that is the most fun to pray in this synagogue !!!And everyone gets everyoneIts fun to see the vision prayAnd there is a nice atmosphere and beautiful songs !!!

Also known as the Jeshua synagogue. In the words of Moses. Certainly worth a visit, a break in the bustle.

Magnificent architecture. Too bad that the hours of worship are not accessible on the internet.

Holy and Blessed Place! Good to be in it!Dear Friends ! Dear Prayers and Prayers! Please add the prayer hours: Dawn, Mincha. Arabic, also if there are Torah lessons in this good and holy place please update the maps.Due to the fact that we are very mobile and sometimes come to new places and seek quorum or Torah lessons, this update is very important for us and many Jews using maps.And to you a wise reader if you are a soul mate and do not know about the virtue of the many credits you can go online and watch the movies: Sharon Nahshoni film, clinical death, military sciences, Saada.Or read on the site: Values, the dialogue that explains this in a language equal to any soul.I am sure these insights will encourage the subject of many acquaintances - the introduction of prayer times and Torah lessons for maps.In light of the above, we will ask again if possible if the information of the prayer times and Torah lessons in the synagogue appear in the synagogue bulletin board Please photograph the bulletin board in the synagogue,And it is a will from our Father in Heaven to bless all the many privileges to name an eternal artist Sela andBe welcome,

Conducts a Kollel in which retirees from all classes study a beautiful, tourist-controlled building

Nora wanted to come in to show my grandchild the organ no locked anything does not mean that in the middle of the Great Synagogue will be closedWhat it is and tourists how to show them the beauty of the synagogueshame

A large synagogue. not clean. The smell of the toilet at every corner. Disrespectful.

Shlomo Shlomo Benin Farr knew better days

An excellent place of prayer, on Shabbat and holidays there are excellent cantors (you should be interested in advance).

Great place but pretty old and not too much stuff there

We got to classes for seven-year-old Jewish boys, probably they had the end of the year, which was an additional attraction. The synagogue itself is similar to others, although more elaborate. There is no need to look for a car park in the surrounding streets.

A beautiful place, impressive and impressive. The place is active all year long, especially on Saturdays and holidays.Where the prime minister and high-ranking people come to visit. recommended.

Beautiful Synagogue Chazanut The choir is celebrated if the worlds best conductor and cantors are all excellent

The big open only on Shabbat, downstairs there is a synagogue in Beer Miriam for study all week in the morning

Lesson on Wednesdays of Sivan Rahav May-Ad 9 Av

Great and magnificent place. Gives the national aspect of Judaism as a state religion on both its architectural and monumental side. Or in short, the synagogue. Great.

Tanya for the 18th day of AvAnd in this it will be understood from the Arizal that there are two kinds of souls in Israel, souls who are engaged in the Torah all their lives and souls who have matzahs ​​who are engaged in charity and Gamach. Apparently, the TAH should also deal with the GMH as a sergeant major who does not even have a Torah except that the TAHO whose main Torah and most of their days in it and the minority of their days in the GMAH is the act of their intercession Deltata to arouse supreme grace to continue to download OAS Gd according to them is only to the world of souls in creation by the Talmudic business and to the angels in creation by studying the Mishnah ostrich since the animals of the souls and the angels are influenced by the combinations of the letters of the speech is Torah and the origin of the letters is from above as well. The Supreme God will fit into this world of depression, which is a greater reduction in intensity than it is not enough in the intercession of those who are engaged in a minority of their days in charity and Gamach, but by Ataruta Debeli Matzah who spend most of their days in charity and Gamach ( A. Palad) and therefore were called the supporters of Oriyta and the exams and steps of Noah to continue the light of the Torah down to the world of doing. And in this it will be understood why it is called charity in the name of Maaseh Kashm and there was an act of charity Shalom. The language of Zohak Man Devid Shama Kaddisha Devid Deika because in Ataruta Deltata in charity and kindness will arouse supreme grace to continue the light of the Almighty in terms of supreme wisdom Judgment of the name of God It is enough to influence the world of action and to distinguish differences there is no end as a person speaks only to others (and not when he is among himself) and then reduces his mind and thought in his speech to them and the educated will understand:

As a non-Jew you can also attend a service. Special experience. Especially if you are used to the meetings in a Dutch church.

The largest synagogue in Jerusalem and one of the largest in Israel.

Beyond the fact that it would be a great miracle to find parking, a beautiful and impressive place

A huge synagogue. Beautiful and invested. There is no such thing in Jerusalem. On special days there are special prayers with the cantor and choir. Too bad its not accessible. There are lots of stairs. Built before there was an awareness of accessibility.At the entrance there is a beautiful exhibition of mezuzahs.We were at the Independence Day eve prayer and it was a wonderful anthropological experience. Worth a visit.

The synagogue has been renovated and lighted to a high standard

Amazing, no words. Mandatory for every tourist arriving in the country.
