The Vilna Shul closed as a synagogue in the 1980s and has since been transformed into The Vilna Shul – Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture. It now serves as a cultural center, community center, and living museum, with a focus on Jewish history.
Architectural Restoration and Exhibits
Three million dollars were invested in the architectural restoration of the Vilna Shul building. It now houses a small exhibit that provides insights into the history of the synagogue and Boston's Jewish community.
Opening Hours and Activities
The Vilna Shul building is open on certain weekdays and weekends, making it a regular part of the Beacon Hill and Boston tourist circuit. In addition to being a historic, cultural, and community site, it also hosts regular Jewish religious services, including major holidays and young family Shabbats. It is also the home of Havurah on the Hill.
