The Isaac Synagogue, built in the early Judaic-Baroque style, was opened in 1644, and was a gift to the city from a wealthy Jew, Izaak Jakubowicz. The design is endowed with decorative arabesques and arches, yet retains a sober linearity, especially within. There is much to admire, not least the fragments of original wall scriptures.

We will be visiting Isaak Synagouge during Yum Kippur. As a woman, do I need to wear a dress and a hat, or will pants and a head shawl work? Many thanks, Kerstin
