Etz Hayyim Synagogue

The Etz Hayyim Synagogue is the main surviving remainder of the once Romaniote Jewish people group on the Greek isle of Crete. In the wake of being reestablished, the synagogue with its Mikveh has turned into a visitor goal and has pulled in visits from outside dignitaries like Queen Sofia of Spain, the sister of the previous King Constantine II of Greece, who made a sudden and unannounced visit to the site on March 6, 2006. The synagogue was the objective of a torching assault by a British subject in January 5, 2010. Today the network is an image of a decent living respectively. The people group life has resuscitated while all gatherers are Non-Jews.

Every so often a Rabbi or at the jewish occasions somebody who can blow the shofar visits the network. An International group deals with the gathering work. Christians and Muslims are welcome to visit the gatherings and contrary to other Jewish Congregations in Europe, the guests have not to demonstrate their travel permit at the passage. Regardless of the network's romaniote past, the gathering today utilizes basically the sefardic custom of Greece and has built up its own particular Haggadah content.
