Synagogue

Next to the Theatre and Concert Hall is the Synagogue, the most important architectural monument of the Jewish community in Lendava. Building of the synagogue began in 1866, when Rabbi Schachelesz was serving. In the past, when religious ceremonies were conducted, there were 80 seats for men and 60 for women, who were seated up in the gallery. The synagogue was used for religious purposes until 1944, when the Jews were banished from the town. There are two permanent exhibitions, “The Jews of Lendava and Pomurje” and the exhibition by Dan Reisinger, “Scrolls of Fire”.
