Our guide
Only the Nożyk Synagogue - the sole survivor of more than 400 that existed in Warsaw before the war - is Orthodox and active today. Beit Warszawa, by contrast, is Reform - two separate institutions, worth not mixing up. The community building on Grzybowska Street also has a kosher kitchen.
Our recommendations
- The Nożyk Synagogue - the only one to survive WWII - is the community's hub, alongside the nearby POLIN Museum.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Warsaw
Warsaw does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad Lubavitch of Poland (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Warsaw.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
