Beautiful Synagogue, Love the Menorahs

This synagogue was built in 1595. Guidebooks call it one of the most beautiful in Europe. I agree. The synagogue is lovingly maintained by 7 people comprising the entire local Jewish community. Their devotion to the building, museum and cultural outreach is remarkable. Tour guides...More
