Synagogue (the Nozyk Spouse)

The only pre-war synagogue in Warsaw still in use. Built in the years 1898-1902 on the initiative of Zelman and Ryfka Nozyk. During the war the Gernmans turned it into a stable. Despite it being severely damaged, it recovered its importance soon after the war. Today, it is not only a place of religious practice but also an important Jewish cultural centre. The synagogue may be visited every day (expect Saturday): Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m., Sun. 11 a.m - 20 p.m. Admisson fee required.

Jerozolimskie Avenue

In 1768 Jews were granted the right to setle freely in Mazovia, excluding Warsaw. In 1774 beyond the western tollgates of the city, near today's Zawiszy Square, Józef potocki and August Sułkowski created settlements for Jews on their land, called Nowy Potok and Nowa Jerozolima. The Warsaw authorities cosidered them trading competitors and a year later banned the settlements, but the road leading to the Vistula River and its name remain to this day.
