This synagogue is a nice one, very well kept. The lady in charge of visitors enthusiastically gives a lot of interesting information, and suggests also other important venues in the area. Really enjoyed it.

The synagouge in Worms

Feb 2015 • Family

If you are interested in history and specifically Jewish history, then this is a must. Just don't go on a Monday, since the Rashi House is closed then. It is worth while to visit the old (1000 years old!) Jewish cemetery as well. It has a few very significant Rabbis buried there.
Visiting the Synagogue and the cemetery is free, but there might be a fee for the Rashi House

Jewish History in Worms, Germany

Jul 2018

This synagogue and museum was an amazing place to visit. It was very well set up in both German and English translations. Has been restored since the war and highlights well the importance of RASHI (Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (Shlomo Yitzhaki)). It is well worth the visit, especially for thiose interested in Jewish History and Culture. Also program in a visit to the very beautiful Jewish Cemetery!.

Very important old Jewish synagogue from the 11 century

Jul 2018 • Couples

This synagogue was first built in 1034 and is the oldest in Germany . Is also known as Rashi Shul , the important bible interpreter . Built in Romanesque and Gothic style . It was destroyed by crusaders and rebuilt in 1175 . It was destroyed a few times in history an rebuilt every time again . Last time in Crystal Nacht , by the Nazis , and inaugurated in 1961 . Still used as an active synagogue. Attached is a Jewish Mikwe that needs refurbishment and is closed to the public . On the same square there stood the Levy’s synagogue that was destroyed in 2 world war but not rebuilt.

Overall, a fairly usual synagogue

Jun 2016 • Solo

The synagogue in Worms, located in less than a kilometer from the Markt Platz, is considered one of the oldest in Europe and has the sign on the wall about it. In fact, everything is different. The oldest was the synagogue, which isn't already on the site. It was bombed during the Second World War. Its successor, which we see now, is the simple replica, it's only five decades. It was simply rebuilt. However, the ancient foundations are used for new buildings - in particular under Raschi Haus behind the synagogue. There are remains of a very old Mikwe, as well as of a museum, for acces to which is needed the entrance fee - unlike in most of the synagogue. On Saturday, in the first half-day synagogue is closed.

Rashi Synagogue

Feb 2015 • Solo

A classic place in Jewish history, known as the Rashi Synagogue. You must visit the Rashi Gate that is near.

This synagogue is a wonder

Jan 2018 • Solo

Honestly, there are not very many medieval synagogues left in middle Europe. It is a wonder that this building still exists. It is located along narrow medieval alleys. The form of the building is simple and rough but at the same time warm and honest, even pious. Visit this extraordinary synagogue and commemorate all the generations gone by.

Millenial Jewish community well remembered

Nov 2015 • Couples

Worms, with Speyer, was the site of a thriving Jewish community from the 11th century, and in both cities synagogues, mikvas, and museums, co-located, relate the history -- straight. The Worms synagogue is a reconstruction, but the museum associated with it is full of remarkable artifacts and history.
