The Ashkenazi Synagogue (Turkish: Eşkenazi Sinagogu) is an Ashkenazi Synagogue located near the Galata Tower in Karakoy neighborhood of Beyoglu in Istanbul, Turkey. It is the only currently active Ashkenazi synagogue in Istanbul open to visits and prayers.
The synagogue was founded by Jews of Austrian origin in 1900. It is also the last remaining synagogue from a total of three built by Ashkenazim, as the population of Ashkenazi Jews accounts for 4 percent of the total Jewish population of Turkey.

The Ashkenazi Synagogue holds weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and other religious ceremonies in the Ashkenazi tradition. Rabbi Dr. David Marcus, who also established the Jewish school Bene Berit, served as Rabbi and spiritual leader until his death in 1938.
Rabbi Mendy Chitrik has served as the rabbi of the Ashkenazi Synagogue since 2003.

听了去过伊斯坦堡的朋友的建议，我和老公业参加了一日游。在黄金大市集里，见到玲珑满目的各式各样的店，感受到土耳其人的热情，也见识到他们的语言能力，几乎每个人都能说上几句中文，让人倍感亲切。
We really liked the guided visit to the Neve Shalom Synagogue still in use today. Several people recommended this tour and it did not disappoint.

Situated close to the Galata Tower in Beyoglu, the Ashkenazi Synagogue is the only active synagogue of its kind in the city. The Synagogue was founded in 1900 by Jews of Austrian origin.It is open weekday mornings and on Saturdays for Shabbat services.
It was built by Austrian originated Askenaz. It exhibits a different view than the more traditional Sefare and Romaniot synagogues with its European style façade, Polish influenced Ehal (a cupboard in which copy of the Old Testament hand written on parchments are saved) and Teva (pray pulpit).
Our first stop in privatetour was the Ashkenazi synagogue. We arrived in time for morning prayers, so I just joined in, donning a talit, and staying until the end (about 15 minutes). No matter where you are in the world, it sounds the same.
We started our tour of Istanbul with a visit to the Archeological museum. We bought the museum pass at the gate. This will give you access to the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, Topkapi, Topkapi harem, Haga Sophia and Chora museums. The pass is very convenient and saved us about 20 minutes time of queue for Topkapi and Haga Sophia.
