The synagogue was closed for a Jewish holiday on the day we went so all we could do is view it from the outside. We had wished it was opened because we wanted to see the main prayer hall and ark since its renovation in 2000. From the photos we have seen it looks stunning. The outside façade of this mid-19th century synagogue, which went through conservation in 1996, is still shows some of its original Moorish style. There is a small fee to visit the synagogue. Most importantly, we learned that the synagogue has been returned to a place of worship and hosts numerous concerts and meeting throughout the year. Maybe next time we are in Krakow we will be able to see the interior.

Muy mal. La sinagoga es muy bonita, pero es una pena, que estando con todo el techo apuntalado, un andamio que ocupa toda la planta central de la sinagoga con redes, y personas trabajando evidentemente con el material y todo lo que conlleva repartido por el edificio, te cobren 10PLN por entrar. Al salir, se lo comentamos a la simpática trabajadora (véase la ironía) que cobra las entradas, y a parte de contestarnos con muy malas formas, nos señaló un cartel tamaño folio, donde ponía que estaban en restauración, blanco y negro que no llamaba apenas la atención ubicado junto a un par más de carteles. Su respuesta fue con un tono muy borde: "Read". Evidentemente, el cartel estaba solo en Polaco y en Inglés. Mal por la actitud de la trabajadora, mal por no avisar de manera más visual, mal a la institución por cobrar por entrar a ver algo en ese estado... y mal por la trabajadora de nuevo, que ya que nos pasó desapercibido el cartel o podríamos no haber entendido lo que ponía, no nos avisó de las obras a la hora de pagarle las entradas. No merecen tener visitas.

Miejsce modlitwy i spotkań dla tzw Żydów reformowanych, którzy w XIX wieku pojawili się w Krakowie i ogólnie na ziemiach polskich (wtedy oczywiście pod zaborami). Synagoga Tempel jest nietypowa jak na inne synagogi w Krakowie, bo przypomina świątynię nie tylko z nazwy - nawiązuje formą do chrześcijańskich świątyń. Synagogę Tempel można zwiedzać od niedzieli do piątku, jej remont jest już praktycznie na ukończeniu. Dzięki temu można podziwiać jej piękno zarówno na zewnątrz jak i wewnątrz. Przewodnik powiedział nam, że Tempel bywa czasem wykorzystywana dla celów religijnych, ale jednak nie regularnie. I chyba faktycznie tak jest, bo podczas wizyty w środku nie było nikogo oprócz zwiedzających (w przeciwieństwie do Synagogi Remu, która w czasie naszej wizyty była pełna Żydów mających tam jakieś spotkanie). Generalnie polecam odwiedzić i zobaczyć samemu. Synagoga jest unikalna nie tylko ze względu na jej formę i zachowane witraże synagogalne, ale również ze względu na fakt, że żydowskich synagog reformowanych było na ziemiach polskich niewiele.

I wish I could give a separate review of the building and staff, but there is no such opportunity.

The synagogue was very impressive, beautifully decorated, wonderful stained glass windows. But the controller at the entrance is just a boor. She did not even deign to interrupt a very personal conversation on the phone when she sold us tickets, and also did not warn us that the second floor is closed to the public. When communicating with me she addressed me on "you" (the conversation was...

A beautiful building, smaller than it seems in the pictures, but some parts of the inside are in a sorry state of disrepair, or have been fixed in a slightly kitschy manner. Some information signs, but all in all, I would recommend adding something like a information flyer at the entrance.

I did not mind paying 10 złòty to enter, but I see a some humour in certain people complaining about this small entry fee. (Jokes about this subject are relentlessly hunted down by Google censorship)....
