Continuing with her mission to check out different synagogues of Jerusalem, Molly went to the Jerusalem Great Synagogue for the Friday night Shabbat service.

Here is Molly’s Top 5 of the Jerusalem Great Synagogue:

1. It’s a short 5-10 minute walk from the apartment, right next to Supersol!

2. I sat next to a lovely episcopalian from Indiana, Dee, who is visiting Israel for three weeks.

3. Since the Jerusalem Great Synagogue is so large and open, you can actually see what’s going on while sitting in the women’s section.

4. The cantor’s beautiful voice - this is an Ashkenazi Chazzan, so it was different than Sephardic Chazzan I heard last week.

5. I didn’t get yelled at for crossing my legs.
