Portuguese Synagogue, Amsterdam

Such a beautiful & stunning Synagogue 🕍. It's so majestic and spiritual. I had 30 min just for my self to admire this amazing building. If you 're visit Amsterdam make sure you go there. ( easy to get there with tram from Central Station or just walk)

If this is what the splendor of the Jewish synagogues back then. Imagine how well to do Portugal would have been if they wouldn’t have kicked out the Jews. They say originally King Fernando of Spain didn’t dislike the Jews as much as his wife Isabelle, but years of nagging made there mark. His own prime minister was Jewish the great Don Abarnel.( the great rumor of Christopher Columbus was the he was a secret Mariano and he was looking for a land that the Jews can finally be free)After the Spanish Inquisition, the prime minister had to run to Portugal. And a couple of years later the king of Portugal kicked out the Jews due to the pressure of his cousin the queen of Spain, Isabelle. Listen it was the Portuguese loss. Portugal is a nothing country now. USA is the best because nicest to the Jews. Whoever is nice to the Jews the country flourishes. Nowadays Portugal is offering citizenship the all the people that can prove that 500 years ago there ancestor’s lived there. You just have to think to ym yourself why would you go back to a country that burnt you’re ancestors at stake I wouldn’t want to go back!
