Bet Izhak

Ortodoxa

La construcción de esta sinagoga culminó en 1967. El ingeniero Boris Albin fue el responsable de la obra, la cual responde a un estilo contemporáneo. Por fuera, podría pasar inadvertido, casi como un edificio de oficinas. Pero vale la pena ingresar para percatarse de que es una hermosa sinagoga, con espacios amplios y mucha iluminación. Es importante aclarar, que pese al aspecto moderno de su exterior, sus adentros son muy similares a las sinagogas del siglo XII, pues sus muros están cubiertos de libros hebreos. Cabe mencionar, que hay un proyecto que quiere construir un centro comunitario Bet Itzjak.

The construction of this synagogue culminated in 1967. The engineer Boris Albin was responsible for the work, which responds to a contemporary style. On the outside, it could go unnoticed, almost like an office building. But it is worth entering to realize that it is a beautiful synagogue, with ample spaces and lots of lighting. It is important to clarify, that despite the modern appearance of its exterior, its insides are very similar to the synagogues of the twelfth century, since its walls are covered with Hebrew books. It is worth mentioning that there is a project that wants to build a Bet Itzjak community center.
