The Historic Synagogue Justo Sierra 71 or Synaguoge Nidjei Israel is an old Ashkenazi synagogue in Mexico City.[1] The building serves both as a synagogue and cultural center of the Jewish community in the historic center of Mexico City (Spanish: Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México). It was constructed in 1941.[2]
It is open to the entire public. It offers guided tours and activities with the goal of promoting the space and Jewish culture, not for profit. After its restoration was completed in 2009, the Synagogue opened its doors to share its beauty, history and other expressions of Jewish culture in Mexico with the public. It is the only synagogue that holds the title of Historic Synagogue in Mexico and is one of the oldest in Mexico City.
