Welcome

The Gerard Dou street synagogue is one of the oldest functioning Ashkenazi shuls in Amsterdam. Built in 1892 by the society "Hulpe Israëls" (Israel's Help), it holds a special place in Amsterdam's Jewish Orthodox community.

The traditional Dutch-Jewish melodies and rituals, the beautiful, authentic interior and the gezellige (cozy) atmosphere make services at the Gerard Dou street shul exceptional. First-time visitors are always warmly welcomed.
