 Synagogues/temples in Istanbul I'm not Jewish, but Judaism is my religious preference by choice...conservative or reform. I read an old article about a synagogue in or near Ulus, but I don't know if the place is still there? If so, could someone please give me the location? If it's a sensitive subject, please PM me. I would like to attend this summer...also, a stab in the dark, but an Unitarian services in Istanbul? Thanks so much!

I haven't heard of a Unitarian church here.

Might also want to stroll over to the Balat neighborhood. It was the most populous Jewish neighborhood in Istanbul the Ottoman period and has a number of fine synagogues, the most notable being the Ahrida Synagogue. The synagogue is one of the oldest in Istanbul, and was restored in the 80's. It boasts a superb Teva (Bima) in the shape of a ship's prow. You need to secure permission from the Chief Rabbinate (located in Beyoglu) to visit it though...
Cheers,

Thanks! I will have Jewish friends visiting me this summer and perhaps that would be the best time to secure permission to visit! They would want to see it as well.
