Professor Efrayim Tabori speaks:
"Jewish throughout the ages, who walked into a synagogue in any part of the world, heard the language and saw the traditions of their people and were reminded of their origins. The powerful resurgence of the will to settle the land of Israel after so long may well be attributed to the central part that the synagogue has played. Despite the threat of forced conversions, tortures and anti-Semitism in all its nefarious forms, the people of Israel still live on. They have maintained their national identity and continue to do so. The purpose therefore of the Museum Synagogue is not only to pay homage to the past, but to recreate the future"
