Welcome to Warsaw!
The Nozyk synagogue is home to the Jewish Community of Warsaw (Gmina Wyznaniowa Zydowska w Warszawie). From the complex at ulica Twarda 6 a number of Jewish activities for both the Polish capital and nation are conducted.
Kidusz
As you probably know, the ten commandments are viewed by many as the epitome of our religion. What you may not know is that drinking a glass of wine is considered one of the ten commandments.
The text of the commandment about szabat in Exodus (Szmot – 20:7) is that we are commanded to „remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy”. Jewish tradition asks how can we remember szabat in a sanctifying manner, and has a clear answer: kidusz!
Prayer Services
Services are conducted daily in the synagogue.
Shabbat starts with mincha slightly before shkiah and then moves on the kabbalat shabbat and maariv. Shacharit is then at 9am, and mincha will be about half an hour before shkiah, followed by suedat shlishit in the synagogue and then maariv.
