Able to accommodate 2,000 worshippers at a time, the original synagogue served a Jewish community that peaked at 12,000, or 4% of the population, in 1937. Its location is now occupied by the Shakespearean theatre, a reconstruction of a 17th-century playhouse that hosted English touring actors in the Bard’s lifetime.
