Nożyk Synagogue in Warsaw: photos, reviews

About

Synagoga Nożyków, nestled in Warsaw and crafted by Karol Kozłowski in the Romanesque Revival style, first opened its doors in 1902. As one of the few synagogues in the city that withstood the ravages of World War II, it stands as a significant historical and cultural landmark. This beautiful synagogue, welcoming to children, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Warsaw's Jewish community.

Visitors are greeted by friendly staff eager to share intricate details of the site's past. A nearby kosher shop adds to the charm, making it a convenient stop for those adhering to dietary laws. It's important to note that payments here are cash only. With a commendable Google rating of 4.3, Synagoga Nożyków is highly regarded by those who have experienced its serene environment.

For a unique experience, consider visiting during the Noc Muzeów events, though be aware that visitors' experiences during these nights can vary. Regardless, this synagogue remains a must-see attraction for anyone exploring Warsaw's religious and architectural heritage.

Nice synagogue. It was the only one which stood after the war, it was renewed. Good acoustic.

Un lieu paisible et empreint de spiritualité. En visitant la synagogue Nożyk, on ressent profondément le poids de l’histoire, le respect du passé, et la présence de ceux qui viennent encore aujourd’hui y prier. Un moment de calme et de recueillement au cœur de Varsovie. Je recommande vivement cette visite à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir une part importante du patrimoine juif polonais. A peaceful and deeply spiritual place. Visiting the Nożyk Synagogue, you can truly feel the weight of history, the reverence for the past, and the quiet presence of those who still come here to pray. A moment of calm and reflection in the heart of Warsaw. I highly recommend this visit to anyone interested in discovering an important part of Poland’s Jewish heritage.

As I was entering the synagogue, there was a couple of from Israel right behind me. After I paid and went through security, I heard the man arguing with - really yelling at - the security guard telling him that Jews shouldn't have to pay to pray at the synagogue. He was loud and argumentative, and I felt embarrassed at the moment. Then he asked me if I agreed with him as I was wearing the kippah. I just smiled and walked into the synagogue. I guess I didn't want to get involved. But now that I reflect on it, I should have answered him. I should have told him we all should support the synagogue and the people who work there. This young man was armed and obviously trained for security really doing two jobs: security and admission. I imagine working at a synagogue carries extra risks for the people who agree to do it. I felt safe and comfortable with this young man protecting the synagogue and it's guests. Everybody should pay the admission fee no matter who they are and if they pray or not.
