maxcat910 Posted September 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We will be in Bridgetown Barbados on a Saturday. I have read conflicting information about whether the Nidhe Israel Synagogue (listed by some as the oldest Synagogue in the Western Hemisphere) is open on Saturdays, but all of the information was from quite a while ago. Does anyone know whether a Saturday visit is possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ming Posted September 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2012 It looks like they are not open on weekends, however you may be able to make arrangements. Please go to Totally Barbados and you'll find out how to contact them. I am unable to include a link, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayenu Posted September 17, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Is there the reason for a synagogue to be closed on a Saturday when the prayers are conducted? Maybe on Saturday the synagogue is opened for members only? Not for tourists? http://*********************************/barbados/Local_Listings/Sightseeing_Listings/Tourist_Attraction_Listings/8767.htm Days of Operation: Monday to Friday - Weekend Visits May Be Requested.

maxcat910 Posted September 21, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks for the responses. Dayenu, it is an interesting thought and I am not sure - but from I have read online on Drew Kaplan's Blog about his visit, there are some Friday night services held there during certain times of the year and no Saturday services. I have contacted the recommended Totally Barbados site for info and I am waiting to hear about - I'll post an update when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
