"Beautiful historic synagogue, many interesting events."
"History, culture, linking tradition with innovation: these are all part of the Bostonian ethos. Vilna Shul embodies all of these ideals as well. The downstairs is a mini museum to the history of synagogues in Boston, immigration, and contains snippets of a very interesting migration over the past 250 years. The upstairs, is a beautiful synagogue that is still undergoing restoration. If you enjoy history, it’s a great place to visit. If you enjoy architecture, it’s a great place to visit. Walking around the streets of Beacon Hill adds to the experience as well."
