R. B.Beautiful synagogue with a fascinating history. If you can go on a tour (email the caretaker, Jerry), I highly, highly recommend it. Jerry's tour is incredibly interesting and well-researched, and gives an excellent overview of not only the history of Plymouth and the Jews who lived there, but Jewish life in England during different periods.
If you are in the area, it is definitely worth a visit!
A. W.Really recommend booking a tour here. It's beautiful, amazing rich history intrinsically linked to Plymouth. You will learn so much!
E. S.Amazing experience for people of any religions and beliefs!
You will absolutely love it! Jerry created a wonderful story connecting all the history dots between Plymouth and synagogue. You do not need to be a Jew to enjoy the tour - Jerry explains the interconnection between religions, the traditions and their meanings. I felt like in a Den Brown books - so many symbols to decipher, with hidden meaning, and Jerry researched them all!
You will need to allocate around 3 hours for this amazing experience - you won’t notice how time flies!
P. R.Visited today with friends. Outside Jerry gave a very knowledgeable accy of the history of the area, the street and the building. Once inside he talked more about the interesting people associated with the synagogue. Jerry gave us some fascinating insights into Judaism and I personally would be keen to return .
J. O.A very nice synagogue with a very interesting history. It was one of only two houses on the street to survive the german fire bombing. Book a free tour (easily 3 hours) to learn all about it and how the city has grown around the synagogue. A visit is really recommended.
A. B.Jerry is fabulous guide, very knowledgeable. All the interesting facts about history and religion- he knows them all. Call before your visit and he will introduce you into fabulous world of Jewish culture. Highly recommended.
L. L.The guided tour by the custodian Jerry was extremely informative and a lot of fun. The small interior is beautiful. Overall well worth setting aside the time to visit! Look on the website for details on how to book.
S. W.I was part of a group who were given a tour today by the custodian, Jerry Sibley. It was a fascinating experience and well worth the visit. Jerry gave us a warm welcome with tea, coffee and kosher cake and, over the next couple of hours, gave us a very informative insight into the history of the synagogue, its surroundings and the Jewish community.
D. M.In my opinion the most beautiful synagogue in the UK; certainly the best example of a Georgian synagogue; very plain and inconspicuous outside; splendidly baroque interior. The gilded Torah ark in particular is spectacular.
Jerry is a fantastically knowledgeable and dedicated curator, and the congregation is very friendly and welcoming.
Well worth visiting Plymouth to see this gem of a building, if you have even a passing interest in Jewish history or sacred architecture.
M. B.Amazing building. You need to book to take the tour (approx 3 hrs for donations) which takes you through the history of the Synagogue in the context of the history of Plymouth itself.
J. L.Jerry gave us an incredible and fascinating guided tour. His passion and knowledge is quite inspiring. Highly recommended.
E. B.This is a fantastic experience and Jerry is a great host and bearer of all information .
