I love the building and the inside was very interesting. Very European, like walking through the Marais in Paris.

Nicely renovated in the original style. excellent acoustics.The parking in the area is a bit difficult, however, but if you are touring the region and it is open, it is worth the stop. Religious services are not always held here but... More

I am a wedding designer, and every time I have a wedding ceremony I am amazed at the beautiful restored temple, one of the first west of the Appalachian Mountains I believe!

The architecture was beyond great. Words really cannot bring this historic place to life. Search google images to see why it is something that can must be seen to appreciate. We were at the Temple for the ordination of our niece. Being inside only made this event even more special. There was a historic and emotional connection that we were... More

Cincinnati is the birthplace of reformed Judaism and this is the main Temple directly across the street from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati St. Peter in Chains Cathedral so you can get a two for of beautiful Church buildings and directly aross the street (so these three buildings sit on three of the four corners on a city block)...

This is a gorgeous synagogue. The history speaks, but so does the present.

The previous poster said "you can visit most of the time". That may be true, but they won't let you into the building. We went yesterday (on a saturday at noon) and it was very apparent that this place is NOT open to the public. Actually, there were signs stating that (call for appointment, or something like that). So unless... More

In an otherwise ordinary city, PST is something different and special. It is one of the oldest synagogues in the country and is a stunning piece of construction. Now semi-lost among other buildings it has been preserved and remains a used and useful facility for events. You can visit most of the time and everyone should see it at least... More
