Mexico’s first synagogue, now known as Justo Sierra, was set up by and for the Ashkenazi Jewish community. The Nidje Israel Synagogue at Justo Sierra 71 is the first Ashkenazi synagogue and community center in Mexico. It opened in 1941 during the height of World War II and has served as the center of community life for Yiddish speakers for over twenty years, hosting numerous weddings, bar mitzvot, dances, and Jewish and family celebrations there until the Jews moved to other neighborhoods such as Hipódromo, Condesa, Álamos, and others, beginning a new era in community life. After a period of neglect and desolation, the synagogue was rescued with a respectful and loving restoration, and since 2010 has been revived as the Historic Synagogue, a space open to the public that offers a variety of Jewish cultural events and services. Located in the historic center of Mexico City, the synagogue is easily overlooked at first glance, since its exterior is of a neo-colonial style that blends in with its surroundings, and one only realizes that the building is related to the Jewish people from the two Stars of David at the top of its main door. Open Sunday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm. Closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays. ​ ​
