Synagogues

Victor Philippus van der Reis was without a doubt the most important man in the Jewish Congregation. It was in his house that sermons were held. In 1809 the Jewish Congregation bought a house at the Boveneinde and had it rebuilt into a synagogue.

At the beginning of the 20th century this building had become so ruinous that a new synagogue was needed. On the foundation of the old synagogue a new one was built in 1910. The House of God was consecrated in 1911. Nowadays a store is established in this building.
