Quartier Culturel Juif

Visite après la synagogue. Très instructif et qui complète la 1ère visite. L’audio guide est un plus. Très intéressant.

4 synagogues transformées en musées avec beaucoup d’écrans didactiques. Un petit plus : Terminez votre visite en allant à la cafeteria car elle propose des plats typique juifs ... délicieux !

Très beau musée qui retrace la vie de la diaspora juive amstellodamoise. A y consacrer une journée car le billet comprend plusieurs sites (la synagogue portugaise et le musée de l holocauste). C est très vivant car il y a des objets, des films, des diapo... Bref, on ne voit pas le temps passer. Le personnel est très accueillant. A faire!

The entry ticket of €22 allows you entry to the magnificent Portuguese Synagogue and then over the road the Museum. The main exhibition was entitled Sex The Jewish Position.To me as a secular Jew it was an eye-opener.It explained problems that I experienced in a long relationship with an Orthodox Jewess.. The rest of the museum was much like many others I have visited.However for me the exhibition was special particularly as it reminded me of my late girlfriend.

I studied Judaism at university and I was impressed with how well this tour explained how important Amsterdam was to the Jewish community in previous centuries and what a vibrant community it was , and still is, albeit smaller. The area about worship that talked about things like bar mitzvah and how the faith was worshipped day to day was fascinating and had some lovely exhibits. There are some exhibits about how the nazis particularly plundered the books and literature of the synagogues and that was also fascinating. Nice cafe also.

Visited this museum alongside the Portuguese Synagogue, as they are both included in the same ticket. The museum is across multiple floors initially covering different aspects of Judaism and then the next foor covering the history of Jews in Amsterdam. An audioguide is included which gives additional information on top of the reading across the museum. We spent a couple of hours and really enjoyed the museum

Excellent museum with a big sweep of history - very informative. Learnt a lot here and definitely recommend if you want to learn more on the subject. The restaurant was a welcoming quiet space to sit and reflect afterwards. It served typical delicious food and cakes. It was an added bonus to be able to try these. Good shop with beautiful cards.

PROS * Very informative and informational * Incredible and truly massive amount of artifacts and exhibits * Outstanding multimedia and exhibitional displays of Jewish ideas, philosophy, theology and daily ritual and spiritual life, with detailed descriptions of Sabbath and holiday celebrations * Tremendous outline of Jewish history, specifically the Dutch one * Housed in an old restored formerly functioning synagogue which has an ancient ritual bath * Fantastic modern building * State-of-the-art digital and electronic displays and exhibits * Located in the "Jewish Cultural Quarter" next to the Portuguese syngagoue which is totally intact from 1675 and also three Holocaust sites * There is a pleasant enough cafeteria with food offerings, some of which might be kosher CONS * The cost is 18 euro, but is combined with visiting the Portuguese synagogue * Security, as at most/many places these days * A lot of material to be absorbed and processed in one visit "I VISITED THIS PLACE"... ...as part of my overall plan to see as much of Amsterdam as I possibly could in my short time there. This included for me of course the Jewish sites. I found the museum to be incredible- totally "brilliant" in its design and presentation. The amount of exhibits displayed and information conveyed is astonishing. The building and rooms are open and spacious and allow easy passage and exploration. "I visited this place" during an incredibly hectic fruitful tourist day in Amsterdam, all accomplished on foot: the Anne Frank House, The Royal Palace, The Portuguese Synagogue, this museum, the Maritime Museum, the Auschwitz Holocaust memorial and the Carre Theater for my second-night-in-a-row performance of the Analogues. WAS IT WORTH THE COST? It's expensive, even with the Portuguese Synagogue included in the price, but this is a must-see place if you are interested or connected to Jewish stuff in general, and Dutch Jewry in particular. WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN? Sure ADVICES Have plenty of time- there is a lot to see and do here FULL DISCLOSURE "I visited this place" with the intention and plan to write a thorough complete and "helpful" review and to attach and submit many "helpful" photos here on tripadvisor, so if these did "help" you, please indicate that by tikking the "thumbs up" symbol. Thanks.

The Jewish Museum was included in my IAmsterdam card along with the Portuguese Synagogue. The museum is very interesting despite the fact that I am very familiar with the rituals (without following any of them😊). It is located in the old Ashkenazi Synagogue building and fits right in. The audio guide and the displays are very informative. I started with the Religion section and proceeded to the History one, which was much more exciting for me. The Jewish history of Amsterdam starts with the turbulent journey of Portuguese Jews escaping Catholic prosecution and arriving to the shores of tolerant Holland. Then the story continues telling us how they lived in their new homeland, some of them in luxury, others in poverty, how loyal they have become to their new home, and how tragic was their fate centuries later, during the mass deportations of the Jews to the concentration camps. Of the approximately 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands before the war, a community of about 30,000 remained after 1945. Naturally, now the Jewish community in Amsterdam relatively small. As planned, my lunch was at the Jewish Museum Cafe, which had all kind of the Ashkenazi food to try. I opted for the Gefilte Fish with horseradish, salad, rye bread and butter. It was so good!

Very informative museum about Jewish history culture and traditions.Well worth a visit and the ticket includes admission to the synagogue across the road.

Het is een hele belevenis om zich het leven van de joden voor te stellen.Samen met dit museum kon je ook het Portugees museum bezoeken.In de nabijheid bevindt zich het Memoriam voor de gedeporteerden mensen

Questo museo è molto bello, ci sono parecchi reperti storici e anche video. Da non perdere! Come sempre prenotate prima di partire che è meglio!

Abbiamo visitato il quartiere ebraico di Amsterdam sabato 28/12 partendo dal suo fulcro: la sinagoga portoghese, una tra le più grandi in Europa, costruita in stile classico olandese nel XVI secolo. La audioguida in italiano inclusa nel biglietto di ingresso ha spiegato in maniera esaustiva la storia del giudaismo, sefardita ed askenazita, che si trovarono qui ad Amsterdam e le difficoltà di integrazione con la popolazione locale sin dagli iniziali insediamenti per culminare con l’olocausto del ventesimo secolo. Numerosi gli oggetti antichi sia di vita quotidiana che religiosi, dettagliatamente illustrati, tra cui una suola di scarpa con dedica di inizio 1900 ed un portafoglio. Istruttivo per le tante tematiche trattate tra loro intimamente connesse.

Museo molto interessante. L'audio guida è gratuita e ti permette di seguire tutto il percorso con una spiegazione. Un museo interattivo in parte, che ti permette di scegliere tra interviste, fotografie, documenti...un'esperienza davvero toccante.

Jede Sonderausstellung ist interessant und sehr leereich. Auch das kleine Lunchcafe bietet leckere Snacks. Ob Fishcake, Butterkuch oder Ingwerbolus - alles schmeckt sehr gut.

Me siento un privilegiado. Soy descendiente de serfarditas, mis antepasados fueron expulsados de España en 1492 y fueron a Turquía otros a Portugal y de allí a Holanda. Allí la comunidad judía floreció y fue admitida como en ninguna otra parte del mundo. Construyeron magnificas sinagogas. Cuando uno las aprecia y ve los objetos allí conservados que son parte de tu propia historia, la emoción cala hasta lo mas profundo del alma.

Un buen museo localizado en 4 antiguas sinagogas. Hay una gran cantidad de videos y audios sobre la historia judia de la ciudad y como fue masacrada dicha población sinceramente no sabía que en holanda había pasado tal exterminio. También hay una grna cantidad de objetos y unos cuantos cuadros interesantes. Hay exposiciones temporales en nuestro caso fue sobre la kabala que por desgracia no me entere de mucho.

Obwohl die Dauerausstellung ganz offensichtlich seit etw 15 Jahren nicht mehr weitergeführt und angepasst wurde, ist sie großartig.

El museo está bien armado y equipado. Hay un servicio de audioguía gratuito en diferentes idiomas (incluso castellano) al que luego en el recorrido se lo va acercando a diferentes puntos donde se hace una descripción de lo que se expone. El ticket también incluye la entrada a la Sinagoga Portuguesa, al Museo del Holocausto y al Memorial. La exposición comienza por la Sinagoga, que está en óptimas condiciones y cuenta con diversos elementos y cuadros que se refieren a las tradiciones judías y a las celebraciones realizadas en esta Sinagoga (de raíces asquenazí). Luego hay una exposición con elementos interactivos que cuenta la llegada de los judíos sefardíes y asquenazí desde el 1600 y su inclusión en la vida de Ámsterdam y el resto de los Países Bajos hasta el 1900; considero que esta es la mejor parte del museo. Finalmente se cuenta la historia de los judíos en esta región en el siglo XX, con la irrupción del Holocausto en el medio; claramente no es un museo dirigido a la Segunda Guerra Mundial ni al Holocausto, por lo que no hay muchos elementos ni referencia sobre esto.

Auch hier ein Audioguide in verschiedenen Sprachen. Zudem hat man mit dem hier erhaltenen Ticket direkt auch ein Ticket für die Synagoge in der Nähe. Der Eintritt ist in vielen Städtekarten enthalten. In der ersten Etage steht man in einer alten Synagoge, wenn ich mich recht erinnere der ersten von Amsterdam. Hier erfährt man viel über die heiligen Gegenstände, deren Verwendung und Bedeutung. Zudem sind kleine Monitore ausgestellt, die Erfahrungsberichte abspielen (mit englischem Untertitel) oder andere wichtige Gegenstände der Religion erklären. Im zweiten Stock wird auf das Judentum im Wandel der Zeit eingegangeb

Wir waren zuerst in der Portugiesischen Synagoge und dann hier in der ehemaligen deutschen (aschkenasischen) Synagoge. Je nachdem was man schon an geschichlichem Hintergrundwissen zum jüdischen Leben in Amsterdam und allgemein hat, wiederholt sich hier einiges. Für Einsteiger könnte es auch andersrum besser sein, erst hier und anschließend in die Potugiesische Synagoge ??? Trotzdem ist es ein sehr interssantes Museum! Es gibt einen Audioguide, aber nicht ganz so viele Stationen wo man ihn einsetzen kann. Für alles andere braucht man Englischkenntnnisse (oder man kann niederländisch). Eintritt 15€ (Kombiticket), ca 2h einplanen

Gran puesta de la exposición, con muy buenas explicaciones. Un recorrido histórico de la comunidad judía, incluyendo material ritual, artes, documentos de época. Imperdible.

Ett museum som är väl värt ett besök. Utöver 1900-talsdelen där förintelsen självklart är i fokus får man också ta del av tidigare judisk historia samt får också besöka en synagoga där man kan lära sig mer om judiska ritualer och läror. Bra och väldigt intressant är helhetsintrycket. Plus för trevligt cafe/restaurang.

Mycket intressant. skärmar är välplanerad och mycket informativt. Vissa delar är också interaktiva vilket är en trevlig detalj. Säkerhet för att få komma in är väldigt hög. Definitivt värt besöket

Vi kom lige før lukketid men den permanente udstilling greb mig alligevel. Specielt interviewene med overlevne jøder, der fortalte om tiden umiddelbart efter hjemkomsten til Holland. Amy Winhouse udstillingen stod i skærende kontrast til filmen om hende, hvor hendes selvdestruktion udnyttes til fulde. På udstillingen ses velstrøgne kjoler og pink settings.
