Deeply Disrespectful and Disheartening Experience As observant Jews from Toronto who love visiting synagogues around the world to connect with our faith and history, our experience at this synagogue in Lisbon was nothing short of disgraceful. We had been in contact with Sandra Montez and had a confirmed date and time for our visit. We chose not to send our passport information over email for security reasons, which we made clear and were told to bring them in person, which we did. Despite following those instructions, we were abruptly turned away at the door with no consideration, no respect, and no basic decency. Yes, we understand the need for strict security. But we complied. We came prepared. What we did not expect was to be treated with such arrogance and disregard. This is not just poor management, it reflects a deeper issue of how our own are turning people away from the faith with coldness, rigidity, and disrespect. This is exactly why so many young Jews feel alienated. If you’re looking to feel connected to your roots, I urge you to support your local synagogue instead, a place where you’re welcomed, not shamed at the door. This experience left a sour taste, and it’s a shame to see such a historic place lose its heart.
