בית הכנסת הגדול בירושלים

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

אני לא אוהב חזנות אבל מקום ברמה גבוהה בעיה שצריך לפעמים להזמין כרטיסים מראש אבל מקום שהשכינה שורה בו

The Jerusalem Great Synagogue is both architecturally impressive and spiritually grounding. The interior is expansive yet warm, with stained glass, woodwork, and acoustics that elevate prayer and communal gatherings without feeling ostentatious. It manages to feel formal and welcoming at the same time. Beyond regular services, the synagogue functions as a cultural and educational center, hosting lectures, events, and visitors from around the world. Even for those who are not attending a service, it’s a meaningful place to pause and appreciate the continuity of Jewish religious and communal life in Jerusalem. A landmark that feels genuinely lived in, not just preserved. — Evan Shwarz
