Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue
Religious Sites, Le Marais
Fodor's Review:
Art Nouveau genius Hector Guimard built this unique synagogue in 1913 for a Polish-Russian Orthodox association. The facade resembles an open book; Guimard consciously used the motif of the Ten Commandments to inspire the building's shape and its interior (which can't be visited). Like other Parisian synagogues, this address was dynamited by the Nazis on Yom Kippur 1940. The Star of David over the door was added after the building was restored, symbolizing the renaissance of the Jewish community here.
