About the venue: Portugese Synagoge Amsterdam

The Portugese Synagoge on Mr. Visserplein is one of the best-preserved seventeenth-century synagogues in the world. Completed in 1675 for Amsterdam's Sephardic Jewish community, it still stands on its original foundations. The interior is lit entirely by hundreds of candles - electric light was never installed. Besides religious services, the building functions as a museum and hosts concerts and cultural events.
