The Portuguese Synagogue Complex, Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
Thanks to the restoration work, the Portuguese Synagogue is now much better suited to public viewing, while maintaining its original character. Its great treasure, the library, is now accessible to the public for the first time, allowing visitors to understand and experience this enormous cultural heritage. The Synagogue is still used as a place of worship, retaining the spirit of the building and respecting the needs of the congregants. The jury is very much impressed by the modest restoration of the large hall, avoiding its adaptation to the twentieth century amenities but rather keeping it as it has been throughout the centuries: candle lit and without heating.

Jeremiah 31. Portuguese Synagogue Amsterdam
Jeremiah 31 verse 35 - 37. Video: Portuguese Synagogue Amsterdam
There are many promises in the Bible about the faithfulness of God to his people Israel. I read this in the prophet Jeremiah:
35 Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The Lord of hosts is His name):
36 “If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
37 Thus says the Lord:
“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

Here I found a common license video that has not been uploaded to
Youtube. It includes a very nice Hebrew litugucal song which I think is called Melachim HaShalom Angels of peace, or it may have another title.
First part of the song is in hebrew and then another part in ladino.

(Salmo 148:11,13)
Praise ye him, all his angels of ministring: praise ye him, all his angels of peace.
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
(Psalms 148:11,13)
Barbra Streisand recently visited this synagogue during her concert tour in Amsterdam between June 6 and June 10 2013.
On December 12, 1670, the Sephardic Jewish community of Amsterdam acquired the site to build a synagogue. On August 2, 1675, the Esnoga was finished. The inscription above the entrance is from Psalm 5:8: In the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house. The building rests on wooden poles and the foundation vaults can be viewed by boat from the water underneath the synagogue. Around the main edifice a row of low buildings house the winter synagogue, offices and archives, homes of various officials, the rabbinate, a mortuary and famous Etz Hayim library. During the 1955-1959 renovation, the former Etz Hayim seminary auditorium was redesigned as a winter synagogue with central heating and electric lighting. The floor is covered with fine sand, in the old Dutch tradition, to absorb dust, moisture and dirt from shoes and to muffle the noise.

Cantor Zalmen Stiefel ~ Portuguese Synagogue Amsterdam ~ Mi Shebairach, Shabbos Musaf
On a recent trip to Amsterdam Cantor Zalmen Stiefel visited the Portuguese Synagogue and sang Mi Shebairach, a prayer from the Shabbat Musaf Prayer.
The singing took place by simple inspiration while touring the Synagogue and was filmed unprofessionally from an iPhone and was later edited by Mendy Kievman.
The Portuguese Synagogue, also known as the Esnoga, or Snoge, is a late 17th-century Sephardic synagogue in Amsterdam, completed in 1675.
The Amsterdam Sephardic community was one of the largest and richest Jewish communities in Europe during the Dutch Golden Age, and their very large synagogue reflected this. The synagogue remains an active place of worship and is also a popular tourist attraction.
Coronation Willem Alexander portugese synagogue Amsterdam
Joods Nederland en de inhuldiging van een nieuwe vorst
Na een regentes en drie vorstinnen, krijgt Nederland weer een koning. Wanneer op 30 april Willem-Alexander de vierde Oranje-koning van Nederland wordt, is dat een bijzonder moment, ook voor Joods Nederland. Ruim honderd jaar geleden, in 1898 trad de toen 18 jaar geworden Wilhelmina aan, nadat haar moeder Emma sinds het overlijden van koning Willem III in 1890 regentes was geweest. Daarop volgden Juliana in 1948 en Beatrix in 1980.
Sinds 1898 zijn de tijden drastisch veranderd. Veel landen die destijds nog een gekroonde regeringsleider hadden zijn, na twee wereldoorlogen en democratiseringsprocessen, onder leiding van gekozen presidenten gekomen. De koninklijke familie is dichter bij ons komen te staan. Door de aandacht en snelle berichtgeving in de media, en door het bereikbaar worden van posities die ooit voor de massa onbereikbaar leken, staat ook het koningshuis minder veraf van ons en zijn de leden ervan zeker in de 21e eeuw onderdeel geworden van de BN-er cultuur. Niettemin straalt het Huis van Oranje nog steeds iets bijzonders uit, wat op een dag als die van de inhuldiging duidelijk tot uitdrukking komt.
Voor de koning en de regering wordt het gebed Hanoteen tesjoe'a gezegd. De redactie van het gebed dateert van voor 1492 en is door de Spaanse joden naar nieuwe oorden meegenomen. Zij eerden de koning van Hispanje, zoals Willem van Oranje, ondanks diens ambivalentie, in de volgende eeuw zou doen.

Amsterdam The City That Remembers
This DVD is digitally converted from the original broadcast tape master of a 30 minute documentary which I produced in Holland in 1997. This is a very personal project with one simple objective: to pass along to future generations awareness of the horrors of Nazi Germany's systematic genocide in WWII ... knowledge so easily lost and forgotten unless we keep it alive. After you have viewed this DVD, I hope you will place it in a school, library, church, synagogue, or other permanent place where it will be shown and viewed again and again for decades to come.
The idea for producing this documentary grew from my many trips to Amsterdam and the urging from a close friend there, Harry Moinat, that I interview Jewish survivors of the Dutch Holocaust before they all died. The more I learned the more I had to tell inspiring Amsterdam's story of resistance and determination.
Harry introduced me to a contemporary of Anne Frank, Jaap vanVelzen, who was just 12 years old when he escaped from his Nazi captors by brazenly slipping away from a kindergarten where he and other children were being held awaiting shipment to the death camps. After his escape he hid in the south of the Netherlands till war's end. He was the only member of his family to survive. Jaap later became a successful businessman and noted scholar regarding the Dutch Holocaust.
His childhood recollections are woven into this portrait of the systematic roundup of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and the mentally impaired and their shipment out of Amsterdam using the city's own streetcars to deliver them at night to waiting Nazi freight cars at Amsterdam's central train station. From there they were shipped to Westerbork concentration camp before being sent on to their deaths at Auschwitz and other German death camps.
I wrote, shot, edited and narrated this documentary to share with you an understanding of why Amsterdam is truly The City That Remembers.
