Tumbalalaika – Amsterdam

This is the Sephardic Synagogue in Amsterdam. It is entirely lit by candles.

It was built several hundred years ago and never "electrified."

The arc, seats, bema, etc., were all hand-made by ship-builders.

During WW II the Nazis somehow missed it and never entered it so it is entirely intact and original.

It is a real beauty. This concert was done in the sanctuary and is very rousing.
