In The Trumpet’s Call, Antony McConnell makes a fateful visit to The Great Synagogue of Rome – Tiempo Maggiore. Once inside, Antony has a conversation with Rabbi Mendelson, who not only takes him on a tour, but provides information that unlocks a clue! The Jewish community of Rome is the oldest in the world. The current synagogue was christened in 1904 and sits on the site of an older one. Visitors to the Eternal City should absolutely visit the synagogue, as well as the attached museum located in the basement level of the structure. It’s a unique treasure in a city filled with timeless beauty. Images of the synagogue discussed in the book can be found below.
