What a great place. This is a working synagogue but also has an art gallery incorporated into the community portion of the temple. The artwork, displayed by several artists, Jewish and otherwise, was beautiful and accessible in price. I bought a small piece and waiting for shipment at the end of the showing. I was greeted by Nancy who is a lively, friendly, spirited factotum of the synagogue who also presented an enthusiastic description of the artwork and artists on display. This was a accompanied by a history of the Jewish community in Portland as well as her own familial experiences. The structure of the building is quite interesting and the small area reserved for a daily quorum as well as the larger more formal weekly gatherings was easily accessible and quite picturesque. Donations are recommended but not mandatory although given the quality of the environment it is not too much to ask for individuals to provide patronage of even a nominal amount. All in all a real hidden gem in the city of Portland.

What a pleasant surprise. This was a visit suggested by a local due to their art exhibits and collection. We were amazed at the collection and the thought provoking stories behind the artists. This is a beautiful building with friendly people to offer guidance on your visit. this is a trip worth your time.

The moving and touching stories in the exhibition at the temple of founders of the jewish community and their stories. The synagogue was very beautiful too.

What a delightful surprise for a weekend getaway to Portland, Maine. The Maine Jewish Museum is a functioning synagogue with several active art/museum exhibits. Definitely worth a stop!

A history of the Maine Jewish community and in a functioning synagogue. Well curated, acknowledging the Maine Jewish community and the relationship to the contemporary world. Outstanding presentation and a warm welcome from Dawn, the Executive Director.

The building itself and outside garden make it worth the visit alone. The interior sanctuary is stunning and the stories of the congregation, both individually and collectively, are moving. Staff were welcoming and informative. Not a bad place to see and potentially buy, one-of-a-kind Judaica.

The staff were warm and welcoming. The museum is integrated so beautifully and thoughtfully into the space. You truly get to see every aspect of the building, from the galleries to the temple to the architecture when visiting. A hidden gem for sure!

Lauren Sterling

Brilliant organization and shared art exhibition space.

Larry .Hayden

Always something fresh and worth spending time with. I've been going here for years and I'm always welcomed by the curator who has a unique way describing the exhibits and then leaving you alone to experience them. Highly recommend.

Was not able to visit the synagogue but they have a Jewish Museum Pop-Up (see website). Beautiful artwork in a small little gallery. It was a nice place to stop and take in some art/culture while appreciating the local Jewish community!

(Translation) An exciting Jewish museum, evidence of an organized community in New England. The museum treasures within it the values of Judaism and the relationship to the community. A whole wing of a unique artist telling the story of the Holocaust of the Jewish people in Europe. A must site for travelers in the area. (Original) מוזיאון יהודי מרגש ,עדות לקהילה מסודרת בניו אינגלנד. המוזיאון אוצר בתוכו את ערכי היהדות והיחס לקהילה. אגף שלם של אומן יחודי המספר את שואת העם היהודי באירופה. אתר חובה למטייל באזור.
