The small but interesting collection includes Hanukkah lamps dating from the 14th century until the 20th century, also hosts lectures, films, music, symposiums and other events.
Our advice:
The Temple Emanu-El gives the members space for events for the cycle of life and has a whole cater logistics where 350 people are allowed and have a room for dancing.
