Visited for a baking class and enjoyed it! My bag was searched on the way in which surprised me but I realized it was happening to everyone. The staff were lovely and it was a nice community space.

Great museum and synagogue. I am not Jewish but I am a non-denominational Christian and we worship the same God. However, He is the God of the Old Testament AND New Testament - see the Holy Bible (New King James Version for example). Our Creator is a Consuming Fire who blesses and curses, rewards and punishes, loves and hates. He is a Triune God (3 centres of consciousness in 1 Godhead) and the only God that exists. The Jews will always be His chosen people, and they will have eternal life on the New Earth with Him - if and/or when they realise that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. So, Fear God (in awesome wonder - not phobia), repent of each and every sin, and put your ongoing Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ - the Saviour of all mankind, to receive everlasting life after this vapour of an existence is over. I loved the museum, the guides, and the friendliness of the staff.
