I am Swiss, I went on honeymoon to NY and we visited the Eldridge Street Synagogue. We were really warmly welcomed and had an awesome tour of the synagogue. It remains a great memory from my trip to NY.

I'm a Catholic but I've visited a few synagogues in the UK + in New York. Fantastic spirit the Jewish people have. Beautiful buildings as well. The music fascinates me. Happy + sad all @ the same time.

Here is another peak at the Budapest Synagogue. The stained glass is beautiful and the size of this place is unreal.

Thank you for posting thois beautyfull video,however I must ask the question:

Why I have the terribel feeling that the Jewish life in states is coming to an end?

[TeachESL]

@Tomislavv2 Because the majority of Jews in America have forgotten what it means to be Jews and, unfortunately, too many of them have joined forces with our enemies. The only ones who still live Jewish lives are the Orthodox. Come to Israel and join with us to create a Jewish future!

[OVtigerstripe]

@Tomislavv2 its a loooong way from ever coming to an end!
