Anmerkung : A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies the lot.
The Doornfontein Synagogue (also called the Lions Shul, after the two cast iron lions that flank the entrance) is the oldest synagogue still in use in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was built in 1905 after a design by Morrie Jacob Harris and was once part of a thriving Jewish community of immigrants, many from Eastern Europe and the UK. Although most of its original community moved to the suburbs further north as the city's demographics changed during the twentieth century, it still holds weekly services.
