Pleas read about the Plymouth Synagogue: http://www.jewishgen.org/JCR-UK/susser/plymstory.htm
Please update us!
This is the
oldest Ashkenazi Synagogue in the English speaking world, built
on the site of a spring used for ritual washing. It was dedicated in 1762
and is in regular use to this day. The interior is striking, with
beautiful windows, a gallery and lighting from a huge Victorian brass
chandelier. Against the eastern wall is the only full-blooded Baroque Ark
surviving in the country, complete with shadow painting of the Hebrew
characters.
|
There is now only a small but
dedicated congregation worshipping at this orthodox synagogue, but regular
tours are open to the general public.
