"This intimate synagogue, built in 1833, is considered the oldest U.S. in continuous use (a hundred families still worship here). Visit the National Historic Landmark to find mahoganypews, ornatedomes, and scrolls that survived a fire. The most famous feature is the sandfloor, whichsymbolizes the Jews'journeyacross the desert to find the Promised Land."

My family and I went here on a vacation a while back, and it was so beautiful. The architecture is just magnificent, and the sand floor was such a beautiful touch. I remember also seeing an iguana, and it was extravagant. I definitely recommend visiting this place because it was such a wonderful experience for me and my family.

One of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere. Definitely worth a visit. There is no admission fee, but they do accept donations.

Certainly worth the visit to see the 2nd oldest Synagogue in the hemisphere. Sand floors are amazing. Only about 2 blocks off the beat and path of the main shops. Free to go in and take photos. Even if you not Jewish it's worth the trip if you appreciate such things.

Step back in time, not only when the chosen people were being persecuted by the nazies, but even further back as a surging nation gathering to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Pretty awesome place. The second oldest Synagogue in the western hemisphere! The Synagogue floor is covered with sand. You'd think it's because the of the tropical location but actually it's just to make the service quite. The guide your is amazing. They are open for tourists again since the October 2020. Must see.

Pretty cool synagogue. We had a private tour that lasted about 20 minutes. It was free and informative. Worth the quick trip to see it.

What a beautiful synagogue!! It was worth the trip up the steep hill. We went in because we were hot and tired and this was one of the few places on our self-guided historic walking tour that allowed you to go in. Inside we found a beautiful facility filled with so much history. There's a museum with lots of information and photos that tell the synagogue's story. The rabbi was there and actually greeted us and answered questions. The sand floor and why it has a sand floor was fascinating information. We stayed for quite awhile to take it all in.
