Small, dark, cluttered, and old-fashioned but cozy and with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a display on the Herzog family but nothing I could see on the current President Herzog of Israel, so they could definitely use an update. With only 1000 Jews in Dublin, it’s amazing this place exists at all. Note that it’s usually only open on Sundays for a few hours. A good place to pick up a T-shirt in Hebrew, English, and Irish, or a graphic novel about Jewish life in Ireland.

The Irish Jewish Museum is a small collection of artefacts and articles of the Jewish community in Ireland housed in a former synagogue and residence in Portobello. The winter opening hours are very limited (Sunday mornings/early afternoons only) and the cover charge is €5, so be prepared. There are some lovely objects here, including an 18th century ark cover. A poignant sense of the dwindling community pervades the place. Staff are friendly and very willing to share their knowledge.

So exciting to find this museum in Dublin. Such an interesting history. Very knowledgeable staff. Synagogue upstairs is wonderful. I said the shehecheyanu in joy for being there. Did not expect to see any Hebrew in Dublin. So cool! Bought the book.

I love this place, oh My God , there are so many people who are still not aware of this amazing place, if you love history, and love meeting other cultures and been inspired, this is a place for you. I longed for years to see it, and when I did it was one of the happiest days of my life, I was so awestruck by the impact of history on one place and how it is a very important place its impact on you makes you realise the people of history that lived and live among us with incredible stories of survival against the odds, and very deep connections of Dublins Dublins Irish Jewish past in the area were the museum is situated, I have brought a few friends up to it many times and they all had a very good experience, not far from the museum there is also a pretzel cafe too, but if you find yourself in Dublin and you have a few hours free go into it, just check the opening hours before you do so that you can...

We walked from our hotel in the city center to visit the museum. Hidden away on a side street in a residential area, this tiny museum is worth a visit if you have roots in the history of the Jewish people. The docents are friendly, the isles are tiny, but, this museum packs an emotional touch. I knew nothing of the history of the Jewish people in Ireland. This museum tells the history of an entire community. The displays are excellent. The story of Chaim Weitzman and his ties to Dublin and this Dublin Jewish community are interesting and very...
