Izaak Synagogue in Kazimierz, Krakow, Poland

---

The Izaak Synagogue can chart its history from the 1600s. The synagogue was founded by Izaak Jakubowicz, one of the richest Jews in Krakow. It was opened despite protests from the residents in Christian Kazimierz who were angry that the synagogue was going to be the largest building in the district. Not only was it the biggest building it was also furnished to the highest standards possible.
