(Translated by Google) Significant place for Jewish the community of Prague holds many interesting facts ... In this building, from the 16th century the elders of the Jewish community and the rabbinical court ... The building of the town hall, in the Renaissance style, was built by Pancras Roder. After reconstruction - it’s sooner rococo. Nice beautiful building adorn many watches ... Some of them are very unusual. Master Sebastian Landesberger in 1765, set the clock here with a dial, where instead of numbers, letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This is where tourists come, to check the clock and see "time that flows back." Well and checking the clock, you can look and dine in a kosher restaurant "Shalom" (the truth is open, only for lunch, except Monday). (Original) Знаковое место, для еврейской общины Праги хранит в себе много интересных фактов... В этом здании, с 16 века заседали старейшины еврейского сообщества и раввинский суд... Здание ратуши,в стиле ренессанс, построил Панкрас Родер. После реконструкции - это уже скорее рококо. Милое красивое здание украшают множество часов... Одни из них, очень необычны. Мастер Себастьян Ландесбергер в 1765 году,установил здесь часы с циферблатом,где вместо цифр,буквы еврейского алфавита. Вот сюда и приходят туристы, чтобы сверить часы и увидеть "время,которое течёт вспять". Ну,а сверив часы, можно заглянуть и отобедать в кошерном ресторане "Шалом"(открыт правда,только на обед,кроме понедельника).

The Council House in Maislova Street 25 is one of the few preserved construction landmarks in former Jewish Town. Fortunately this building was not affected by urban renewal statute for Capital City of Czech Kingdom, Prague, which was signed by Franc Joseph I. in Vienna on 11th February 1893. The Council House building and even it´s 27,5 m tall spirelet are not too dominant features. It is because they are surrounded by high housing blocks that were built on the sites of previously demolished old buildings around 1900. Also Jews did not paid attention to their Council House and their houses. Their synagogues were always prioritized by the Jew community. They were used not only as the most respective embassies for congregational and spiritual centre but they were also places for administration of panel, judicial and last but not least scholastic affairs. Židovská radnice je původní radní síň a byla zbudována primasem Židovského města Mordechajem Maislem v letech 1570 - 1577 s vedlejší Vysokou synagogou. V r. 1648 pomáhala židovská obec bránit Karlův most proti Švédům. Získala tím právo, postavit si hodinovou věž. Je krásná se zelenou bání a hrotem. Ve štítu směrem do Červené ulice jsou umístěny druhé hodiny. Zajímavé je, že hodiny s hebrejským písmem se pohybují v obráceném směru, tak jak se čte, zprava doleva. Radnice byla v r. 1763 pozdně barokně upravena. V r. 1908 se rozšiřovalo jižní křídlo. Sídlí zde Rada židovských náboženských obcí v České republice.

Keeping a watchful eye over Josefov is the tower of the Jewish Town Hall with its 2 distinctive clocks. It’s a picturesque site of the Jewish Town Hall, a building that sits on a busy intersection that contains historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. One of the clocks on the tower feature Roman numerals that we often see in our standard clocks. The other, Hebrew numerals with anticlockwise movement which is quite an interesting juxtaposition.

To be honest to much money for nothing much to see. The entrance for two synagogues, Jewish town hall and cemetery is around €15 per person and besides that you have to pay old- new synagogue entrance. I’ve been to many places in Europe and not all Jewish communities have visiting fees or if they do have it’s something symbolic. There is a reduced price for students but it’s still too high if you ask me. I only paid the visit for old-new synagogue and it was around seven euros and it still over priced.

(Translated by Google) A feature of the town hall is the presence of unusual towers and clocks. The tower is 27.5 meters with an interesting balcony and openwork lattice, and the clock is 1764. with arrows going in the opposite direction. But, unfortunately, there is no access, except for the dining room. (Original) Особенность ратуши в наличии необычных башни и часов. Башня 27,5 м. с интересным балкончиком и ажурной решеткой, а часы 1764г. со стрелками идущими в обратную сторону. Но, к сожалению, нет доступа, за исключением столовой.

(Translated by Google) The town hall building was built in 1577. The project was authored by Pancras Roder, and Mordechai Meisel, the elder of the Prague Jewish city, a wealthy and influential man, was a philanthropist. The town hall was built in the Renaissance style. The green turret, which I mentioned, appeared after the Swedish siege of 1648. The Jews of Prague then fought bravely for the Charles Bridge; The privilege of erecting this tower was granted to the community by Ferdinand III. A small building surrounded by a wrought-iron balcony looks like a headdress of a Swedish warrior. The spire of the turret is crowned with a golden ball and the star of David. A few years after the devastating fire of 1754 in Josefov, the architect Joseph Schlesinger rebuilt the facade of the Rococo town hall. During the reconstruction of 1908, the southern wing of the building was expanded. Today the town hall belongs to several public and religious Jewish organizations and serves for their work and meetings. Tourists can visit the Kosher Shalom kosher restaurant, located on the first floor of the town hall. There are several hours at the town hall. Four traditional dials with Roman numerals adorn the turret on the roof of the building (this building has a different story, I'll tell you about it later). There are other watches on the building, unusual ones - they are located from the side of Chervennaya Street, on a curly pediment above the northern facade. Tourists specially come to Maizlova Street to see the “time that flows back”. On the round dial, the place of the usual numbers is occupied by the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, in order: "alef", "bet", "gimel" ... In Hebrew, words are read from right to left, arrows also move in the opposite direction. The outlandish watch was made by master Sebastian Landesberger in 1765. (Original) Здание ратуши построено в 1577 году. Автором проекта был Панкрас Родер, меценатом выступил Мордехай Майзель – староста Пражского еврейского города, богатый влиятельный человек. Ратушу строили в ренессансном стиле. Зеленая башенка, о которой я упоминал, появилась после шведской осады 1648 г. Евреи Праги храбро сражались тогда за Карлов мост; привилегия возвести эту башню была пожалована общине Фердинандом III. Небольшое сооружение, окруженное кованым балконом, с виду напоминает головной убор шведского воина. Шпиль башенки увенчан золотым шаром и звездой Давида. Через несколько лет после разрушительного пожара 1754 года в Йозефове, архитектор Иосиф Шлезингер перестроил фасад ратуши в стиле рококо. При реконструкции 1908 года было расширено южное крыло здания. Сегодня ратуша принадлежит нескольким общественным и религиозным еврейским организациям, служит для их работы и заседаний. Туристы могут посетить кошерный ресторан «Kosher Shalom», расположенный на первом этаже ратуши. Часов на ратуше несколько. Четыре традиционных циферблата с римскими цифрами украшают башенку на крыше здания (у этого сооружения отдельная история, ее расскажу чуть позже). На здании есть и другие часы, необычные – они расположены со стороны Червеной улицы, на фигурном фронтоне над северным фасадом. Туристы специально приходят на Майзлову улицу, чтобы увидеть «время, которое течет вспять». На круглом циферблате место привычных цифр занимают буквы еврейского алфавита, по порядку: «алеф», «бет», «гимель»… В иврите слова читаются справа налево, стрелки тоже движутся наоборот. Изготовил диковинные часы мастер Себастьян Ландесбергер в 1765 году.

Be sure to visit this ancient Jewish town hall

(Translated by Google) The town hall building dates back to 1577, when it was built in Renaissance style by Mordecai Maisel. It was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. It is structurally linked to the neighboring High Synagogue established at the same time. There is a kosher restaurant in the building, the seat of the Council of Jewish Communities is the center of meetings and social events of the Jewish community. The tower clock is manually driven by a winding machine. (Original) Budova radnice pochází z roku 1577, kdy ji nechal v renesančním slohu vystavět Mordechaj Maisel. Později byla upravena barokně. Stavebně je propojena se sousední Vysokou synagogou vzniklou v téže době. V budově je košer restaurace, sídlí zde Rada židovských obcí a je centrem setkávání a společenských akcí židovské obce. Věžní hodiny jsou poháněny ručně natahovacím strojkem.

Absolute must in Prague

(Translated by Google) The Jewish town hall was built in the Renaissance style with interesting elements, then it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. It has an unusual clock and a small balcony and is inadmissible to the public. (Original) Židovská​ radnice postavena v renesančním stylu se zajímavými prvky, poté byla přestavěna na barokní. Má neobvyklé hodiny a malý balkon a je nepřípustná veřejnosti.

(Translated by Google) Historical place full of interesting things! (Original) Historické místo plné zajimavostí!

(Translated by Google) The town hall itself is not an example of architecture on its knees. One element that attracts crowds of tourists is one of the clocks. His directions move the opposite way, and that makes everyone look at it as if it were a curiosum. And in what direction are they supposed to move, since Hebrew inscriptions are read in the opposite way, e.g. in Europe, i.e. from right to left. (Original) Sam ratusz nie jest przykładem architektury rzucającej na kolana. Elementem, który przyciąga tu tłumy turystów jest jeden z zegarów. Jego wskazówki poruszają się w odwrotną stronę i to sprawia, że wszyscy patrzą na to, jak na jakieś curiosum. A niby w którą stronę mają się poruszać, skoro napisy hebrajskie czyta się odwrotnie niż np. w Europie, tzn. od prawej do lewej.

(Translated by Google) The building of the Jewish Town Hall is one of the most beautiful in Prague. Built in 1577. The project architect was Pancras Roder. The patron of the arts was Mordechai Meisel - the headman of the Prague Jewish Quarter, one of the richest and most influential people of that era. Town Hall was built in the Renaissance style. In 1648 a green turret was attached to it, in gratitude to the Jews of the city, who fought bravely against the Swedes during the siege of Prague. A small structure, surrounded by a wrought-iron balcony, looks like a headdress of a Swedish warrior. The spire of the turrets is crowned with a golden ball and the star of David.

Архитектором проекта был Панкрас Родер. Меценатом выступил Мордехай Майзель – староста Пражского еврейского квартала, один из богатейших и влиятельных людей той эпохи. Ратуша была построена в ренессансном стиле. В 1648 году к ней была пристроена зеленая башенка, в благодарность евреям города, храбро сражавшимся против шведов во время осады Праги.

Below is Hebrew clock and above Roman. Hebrew was mistaken by English thinking it runs backward.

The Jewish Town Hall in Josefov, Prague, was constructed adjacent to the Old New Synagogue on the corner of Maiselova and Červená Ulice in 1586 in Renaissance style under the sponsorship of Mayor Mordechai Maisel. It acquired its Rococo facade in the 18th century.

Caution! Many tourists in the area!

I could not belive how much I have to pay for see empty synagogues and and few graves. This was ridiculous, Jewish district is the least interesting place in Prague to me and the most expensive.

(Translated by Google) I love watch (Original) Me encanta el reloj

(Translated by Google) The quarter is really very old and beautiful, definitely worth taking a walk and admiring. But you can't go inside just to look, absolutely EVERYTHING for money (((( (Original) Квартал действительно очень старый и красивый, однозначно стоит прогуляться и полюбоваться. Но зайти внутрь просто посмотреть нельзя, абсолютно ВСЁ за деньги((((

They have a small kosher shop with a variety of food (cheese, meat, snacks, and other food items). We also ordered food for Shabbat to go. They had everything ready for us to pick up on Friday and the food was very good.

(Translated by Google) The building was the main meeting place of the local Jewish community. Known for its two clocks, one on the tower with Roman numerals and the other lower with Hebrew numbers. Very interesting building. (Original) L'edificio era il principale luogo di ritrovo della comunità ebraica locale. Noto per i suoi due orologi, uno sulla torre con numeri romani e l'altro più in basso con numeri ebraici. Edificio molto interessante.

(Translated by Google) Bad day we chose to visit this corner of Prague since it was Saturday and as such a holiday in the Jewish religion with the closed cemetery as well as the synagogues. The name of Josefov is given in honor of King Joseph II who with his Edito de Tolerancia in 1781 helped to improve the living conditions of the Jews. With the sanitation plan of the city during the years 1893 to 1943, a large part of this neighborhood was demolished, conserving the most historic buildings such as the five SINAGOGAS, the Town Hall and the Cemetery with the Ceremonial and Mortuary Hall. A short walk through this corner will lead us to imagine a little the life of the Jewish people in this capital. (Original) Mal día escogimos para visitar este rincón de Praga ya que era sábado y como tal festividad en la religión judía con el cementerio cerrado así como las sinagogas. El nombre de Josefov viene dado en honor del rey José II que con su Edito de Tolerancia en 1781 ayudó a mejorar las condiciones de vida de los judíos. Con el plan de saneamiento de la ciudad durante los años 1893 al 1943, gran parte de este barrio fue demolido conservándose los edificios mas históricos como las cinco SINAGOGAS, el Ayuntamiento y el Cementerio con la Sala Ceremonial Y Mortuoria. Un pequeño paseo por este rincón, nos llevará a imaginar un poco la vida del pueblo judío en esta capital.

(Translated by Google) I found the entire Jewish quarter in Prague fascinating. The Jewish Town Hall is one of many buildings that gives this district its special flair. (Original) Ich fand das gesamte jüdische Viertel in Prag faszinierend. Das jüdische Rathaus ist eines von vielen Gebäuden, die diesem Stadtteil sein besonderes Flair gibt.

(Translated by Google) Funded by Mordechai Messer, built in 1586. There is a large satellite on the spire of the clock tower. The two clocks on the top of the building are quite special. The taller clock is a Roman numeral, and the pointer rotates clockwise. The lower clock is the Hebrew number and the pointer rotates counterclockwise because the Hebrew is read from right to left. Like Chinatown in San Francisco, USA, it has a very special Jewish nationality, and the Jewish grocery stores and restaurants in the community radiate a strong Jewish atmosphere. The Jewish savvy business brain is famous all over the world. No matter where the Jews get there, no matter how much pressure or restriction the local government has, they can still make a lot of money with their minds. The synagogues for tourists in Europe are also good, and the cemetery is no different. Can't bargain, there is no preferential volume, the same price all year round. In Budapest this price can only visit a synagogue. But in Prague, the same 12 euros can visit six different Jewish sights, and it’s so cheap to be surprised how amazing Jews are. However, if you want to visit the entire Jewish quarter, you have to pay 20 euros. If you want to take pictures in the tomb park, please pay another 1.6 euros. In short, for those who are curious about the Jews, they can take the opportunity to see one at a time in Prague. Otherwise, it is definitely not 20 euros to solve if you want to visit Israel. The only true God of Judaism, the Lord, does not recognize Jesus as the Savior, and does not worship Jesus like Catholicism or Christianity. But they also admire Moses, the Holy One in the Old Testament, and Moses conveyed to the Jews the Moses Ten Commandments for the Lord. Judaism was born. (Original) 由莫迪凱‧梅瑟出資，建於1586年。鐘樓塔尖上有大衛星。它樓頂的兩座鐘相當特別。 較高的那座鐘標的是羅馬數字，指針順時針旋轉， 較低的鐘則為希伯來數字，指針逆時針旋轉，因為希伯來文是從右向左閱讀的。 就像美國舊金山的唐人街一樣，保有非常特殊的猶太民族性，社區裡的猶太雜貨店和餐廳，處處散發濃厚的猶太氣息。 猶太人的精明的商業腦袋聞名全世界，猶太人不管到那裡，不管受到當地政府多少的壓迫與限制，他們還是可以用頭腦賺到大筆的鈔票。 在歐洲供遊客參觀的猶太教堂也好，墓園也好，沒有一樣是免費的。不能討價還價，沒有優待卷，一年四季同一個價。 在布達佩斯這價錢只能參觀一個猶太教堂。但是在布拉格，同樣12歐元可以參觀六個不同的猶太景點，便宜到令人訝異猶太人怎麼會這麼大方。但是，想要參觀整個猶太區的話，就要付20歐元，另外想要在墓園區拍照的話，請另外再付1.6歐元。 總之，對於猶太人好奇的人，可以在布拉格把握機會一次看個夠，否則要到以色列參觀的話絕對不是20個歐元可以解決的。 猶太教的唯一的真神耶和華，不承認耶穌是救世主，不像天主教或是基督教一樣拜耶穌。但他們同樣敬仰舊約聖經中的聖者摩西，摩西為耶和華向猶太人傳達了摩西十戒。猶太教從此誕生。
