This video features the closing ceremony of Cape Town's famous Vredehoek Synagogue on 8 August 1993. The Synagogue was a legendary spiritual and communal home for thousands of city centre Jews and those who travelled further for it's services and simchas. Built in 1939, the building still stands today and is an iconic and much loved art deco landmark. It has changed commercial hands a few times since it was deconsecrated in 1993 and has been owned and run mainly by antique or home decor dealers Here are some links to the history of the Vredehoek Synagogue. wcapeshuls.wordpress.com/2013...
