Question for Antwerp Expert

Hi! I just wanted to know if:

1. The diamond district- is it open during Passover this year?

2. How does one contact the Hollandase Synagogue for a special tour?

Thank you!

Eppy,

I have no idea about the opening hours of the shops in the diamond district on this particular feastday.

I don%26#39;t find contact details either for any of the synagogues in Antwerpen.

I recommend you to send an email to the Antwerp tourist office: toerisme@stad.antwerpen.be

Sorry I can%26#39;t be of more help.

1) You are possibly better placed than we are to know when Jewish businesses would be open during Jewish holidays, bearing in mind that the Jewish community in Antwerp is largely orthodox.

2) I find from google that the Hollandse Synagogue is Shomre Hadass, which is listed on here:

www.israelim.com/Synagogues_belgium.htm

However as the link didn%26#39;t work for me, you may want these details instead: Shomre Hadass, Terlisstraat 35 B-2018 Antwerpen, Tel: 03 232 01 87, Fax: 03 226 31 23, Email: shomre-hadas@net4all.be, website http://members.net4all.be/shomre-hadas/ (but this didn%26#39;t work for me either!)

From outside Belgium add 32 for Belgium and drop the 0, of course.
