We want to avoid groups from "bumping" into one another. Even if most people come for English, it is better for them to know the hours. We believe this will avoid delays in groups' schedules and unnecessary congestion in our Visitors Center.
Please note that screening of the Hadassah video depends upon the availability of the auditorium. It is also important to mention that the video comes in English only and with Hebrew subtitles also.
Please be aware that the Synagogue serves also as a site for events and ceremonies held by the Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization of America, as well as the hospital and other groups. Touring of the Chagall Windows will not be possible during these events. It is therefore most advisable to coordinate visits to the Chagall Windows in advance at: (972) (0)2 677 6271.
