Amsterdam’s elderly Jewish quarter is adorned with awe-inspiring synagogues, remarkable edifices, and significant memorials. Situated within this less-than-a-square-kilometer neighborhood is the Jewish Cultural Quarter. It encompasses the Jewish Museum, the surprisingly interactive Jewish Museum Junior, and the elegant Portuguese Synagogue. This place offers a comprehensive understanding of the Jewish culture, history, and traditions, all under a single entry ticket.
The Jewish Museum, occupying four monumental synagogues, furnishes a distinctive perspective into the intricate Jewish existence in the Netherlands, from the past to the present. The Jewish Museum Junior, designed as a six-room Jewish family home, provides an edutainment experience for 6 to 12-year-old kids, illuminating Jewish culture through a mix of solemn and playful games. Kids get to bake rolls in the kosher kitchen, learn Hebrew in the study, or create harmonies in the music room.
- The Portuguese Synagogue is closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays
