While I am not Jewish, my partner is and the history of Jewish struggle is beautiful and tragic everywhere you go. While Turkey has a history of accepting refugees and people of other faiths, you find they also have a history of violence against the Jewish people. The museum is lovely, it also is very informative about Jewish practices. Its always wonderful to see people overcoming and surviving. Many lovely pieces on loan from a variety of people. And of course, the synagogue was gorgeous and is still standing despite many attempts to bring it to its knees. Just as worthy as seeing as the many mosques and churches nearby. Shalom

A MUST VISIT IN ISTANBUL!!! Such an amazing place, where you can find sinagog along with a very authentic piece of art. You can find a lot of history about a very important part of middle east and Europe history. I spent hours and hours reading and discovering, but for a full experience of this place you should come early, you need not less than 5 hours for a full experience. Regarding the prices actually it is pretty much affordable, they give also a huge discount for student. but let me say it again and again, it is a must visit in Istanbul.

A great museum covering the history of Jews in this region with special attention given to the relationship between the Ottomans and the Jewish population. The museum portion takes its name from the 500th anniversary of Spanish Jews finding asylum in the Ottoman empire. The only thing missing was mention of any negative events between Jews and other local populations. The immense security is testament to some of what has happened here. This is also a unique opportunity to visit an active synagogue.

De passage à Istambul j’ai voulu aller faire ma Tefila et mettre mes Tefilins. Après avoir été reçu très correctement par les 2 hommes qui font partie du service de sécurité, je suis rentré dans la synagogue, et là, la femme du musée est arrivée comme une furie criant sur tout le monde en me disant : « Si vous ne payez pas l’entrée vous sortez immédiatement. Sortez sortez sortez. Même les hommes présents étaient ahuris. Je n’ai jamais vu une telle situation dans aucune synagogue de tous les pays que j’ai visité. Je me suis fais pratiquement mis à la porte. Comment peut-on agir de la sorte ? Comment refuser l’entrée à quelqu’un qui veut tout simplement faire sa Tefila ? Tellement abasourdi par la situation je lui ai montré une photo de moi avec notre Grand Rabbin de France , elle m’a répondu « j’en ai rien a faire sortez. Que faire dans une telle situation ? Je suis donc parti comme je suis arrivé. Je voudrais dire à cette femme blonde avec sa voix aiguë, qu’elle ne devrait rien avoir a faire ici car si elle agit comme cela, il ne faut pas s’étonner d’une montée de l’antisémitisme dans le monde. Désolé madame, mais restez chez vous et cette synagogue s’en portera que mieux.

The attack on the Neve Shalom Synagogue in Istanbul took place on Saturday, September 6, 1986. Another attack occurred on Saturday, November 15, when in a coordinated operation two truck bombs exploded near the Neve Shalom Synagogue and the Beit Israel Synagogue. Today the access to the synagogue and the museum is under security and security inspection. You can see in the photos near the door of the prayer area the black soot left as evidence of the events.

The biggest synagogue in Istanbul and one of the biggest in Turkey (similar in size to the Great synagogue of Edirne and the Bet Israel synagogue in Izmir) it is possible to visit the synagogue if you go to the museum of Turkish Jews next door.
