Vysoká synagoga
Czechia
Stand in Červená street, at number 5, with your back to the Old-New Synagogue, and look up. The building in front of you does not announce itself at ground level. What gives it away is height: three tall windows on its north side open towards the older synagogue across the lane, as if the two were in quiet conversation. Its names say the same thing in several languages. Czech calls it Vysoká synagoga, German Hohe Synagoge, Hebrew Beit HaKnesset Gvua, Yiddish Hojchšul: the High Synagogue. It is protected as a cultural monument, and once you understand why it was lifted off the street, the name stops sounding grand and starts sounding practical.
