Synagogue d'Avignon

Tourist attraction Synagogue

👍👍 Wonderful, historic, still-active synagogue with a unique domed ceiling. I believe it is the oldest or second oldest still active synagogue in France, Carpentras being the other.

    This is one of the oldest, continually active synagogue in France. A unique feature is the interior domed roof. We were lucky enough to participate during Simcha Torah. It is an orthodox temple so women sit in the balcony. Beautiful house of worship and beautiful people.

    Lovely Synagogue to visit. To gain access you have to ring the buzzer on the small door to the right of the large Synagogue doors. Fascinating history of the Papal Jews and the Synagogue itself. Well worth a visit.

    Very interesting and historic. However, the need for security was an interesting contrast to the open cathedrals nearby. Be sure to check out the challah oven behind the rabbi's desk in his study.

    Warm welcome at Yom Kippur. Let us visit keeping very strict covid19 regulations. Thank you

    One of the most beautiful Kol Nidres I have witnessed. Thanks to the leaders of the local community for accommodating me on such short notice during these weird times of the new Coronavirus. Chazak v'Ematz!
