Just click on the link below and you will see a video about Israel's largest synagogue: The Beit Midrash of Chassidut Belz in Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, the video is only in Hebrew. Basically they explain that it has 5000 seats, 2000 for men and 3000 for women and children. Women have their own floor as well as the children.
The Aron HaKodesh is 12 meters high. The guy smashing the hammer on the leather lets people know that one prayer ends and a new one starts. The synagogue does not have a Chazan and everyone is praying by himself. Every Shabbat, the Belzer Rebbe is leading the service.

ReplyDeleteI will go there in a couple of weeks.:-)
I am not sure if the Belzer synagogue will remain the biggest, as Chassidut Gur is building a new one at the moment.
