Once a year in September we have the "Open Monuments Days" in our country. You can pay a visit to buildings that mostly ar not open for public or visitors. We visited the RAS Synagoge/Sjoel, named after chief rabbi Rav Aaron Schuster in Amsterdam. The building dates from 1928 and the architect Elte was inspired by Dutch architect Dudok and American Frank Lloyd Wright.
The interior has Art Deco elements.
With 7 stained glass windows which symbolize the 7 days of the of creation.
Beautiful decorated pillars.
Against the eastwall of the Synagoge is the cupboard containing the five parchment Thora scrolls.
At the left above the women's gallery.
The entrance seen from the other side with certainly Frank Lloyd Wright influences.
