NOZYK SYNAGOGUE is not the most beautiful building in Warsaw nor is it at the top of most people's list of places to see and it's not exactly in an area that is exceptional but this building is very important to the people of Warsaw,not just the Jewish population but to people who are disturbed by why one particular group of people can be persecuted for their beliefs.
This synagogue survived the ravages of WW 2 and how it survived the destruction that took place in this city after the Warsaw uprising in 1944 is a miracle.
This is a place to visit and just admire and even if you can't gain admittance just the fact that this synagogue is still here and still holding service should suffice .
You will find Nozyk Synogogue on Ul Twarda.

The Nozyk is the last surviving synagogue in Warsaw. There were 300 synagogues pre-War but like the Jewish community in Poland, little survived. This is a gorgeous little place, evocative and a silent testimony to what went before. It is in daily use by the tiny Jewish community left in Warsaw and by visitors and it's well worth an hour or two to stop and reflect in the cool peace of its classical interior. It left an indelible mark on me and I hope very much to return.

This is a beautiful synagogue... sadly the only pre WW2 synagogue (from over 400 synagogues) that remained standing in Warsaw after the war. It was of course renovated as the inside was totally destroyed.... The story behind this synagogue is interesting, but you will need a good guide to tell you that story!

The only surviving synagogue of the 400 which existed in Warsaw before the war. It has been refurbished and is now a functioning synagogue and is a 'must see' for any visitor to Warsaw.

I visited the synagogue for afternoon prayers. Those who do not join the prayer service can come for a guided visit during weekdays. This is the only one of the many synagogues that existed in Warsaw before the Holocaust that is still functioning, and today it is the main synagogue of the Warsaw Jewish community. The building is not in good shape, and could use a total overhaul. The building and surrounding complex are guarded by security people 24/7. A sad reminder of past glory and a complicated present.

400 synagogues were at Warsaw before second World War.
Now it is only one.
For my humble opinion it is worth to visit it.
It cost 10 zloty per person
You can see here some Jewish traditions.
It is not big place.
May be even one hour is enough.
Read some material before or ask for explanation from local stuff.

Google Maps will take you to the entrance of the road.
My wife and I walked toward the shul. A group outside heard us speaking Hebrew so I was asked to help them make a minyan for the Mincha prayer. It was an honor.
However, I thought afterwards, how sad it is that 73 years after the end of the Holocaust they still needed a tourist to help make a minyan in the only synagogue in Warsaw.

When we visited the Nozyk Synagogue in July 2017 it was surrounded by a building site which will eventually be the Jewish cultural center.
We arrived at the entrance (see the photos on trip advisors site)
we entered and was charged the equivalent of 20 euros to go in 👎👎👎👎👎👎
My opinion is don't bother visiting and enjoy trip advisors photos for FREE, there's nothing extra to see.

I can't say enough about Rabbi Michael Schudrich and the Nozyk Synagogues community. At the last minute, they were able to organize a minyan (10 men) and fulfill my sons dream of becoming a bar-mitzvah in Poland.

The synagogue itself is a living, breathing piece of history being that it's the only synagogue in Warsaw that survived the war. It's architecture is neo-romanticist. It's simple inside. What the synagogue might be lacking in what some consider "beauty" it makes up for in tradition, history and incredible human kindness and warmth.

Hidden behind Twarda 6 is this beautiful building. This was the "upscale" area of jewish life in Warsaw and the building was in the ghetto only during the earliest part of the ghetto. As jews perished and the ghetto borders were moved to make it smaller, this upscale part of town was left outside the ghetto and this helped to the survival of this building. Its interior is not compelling but if you walk towards the end of it original entrance you will be rewarded by seeing very nice original mosaic floor.
