Tevah / Bimah
The tevah, or bimah, is the reading platform for Torah recitations and public prayers in Pisa's synagogue. Constructed from hand-carved walnut wood, it's enclosed by a semicircular balustrade with turned balusters. Its current position reflects a deliberate 19th-century architectural decision that reshaped the synagogue's liturgical layout. What to see here is a fine example of period craftsmanship and the evolving design of Jewish worship spaces.
Ezrat Nashim (Women's Section)
Ezrat Nashim is the women's section of Pisa's synagogue, arranged as a gallery overlooking the main hall of worship from a projecting balcony near the entrance. Its design was part of a comprehensive renovation undertaken between 1861 and 1865 by architect Marco Treves. What to see here offers insight into the historical layout and architectural styling of this important Jewish place of worship in Pisa.
