Florence

Florence's Jewish life gathers in the Sant'Ambrogio quarter around the great synagogue on Via Luigi Carlo Farini, inaugurated in 1882; the Jewish Museum is at the same address, and the community's mikveh stands in the synagogue's garden. The Comunità Ebraica di Firenze has its offices at Via Farini 4; it publishes a weekly Shabbat timetable for the Tempio and a kosher list, and asks anyone wishing to attend services to send a request through its form at least a week ahead. The community's kosher list names two restaurants on the same street — Ruth's, dairy and vegetarian, and Ba'Ghetto Firenze, meat — and a butcher's counter (poultry and beef) in the Sant'Ambrogio covered market, where, it says, a mashgiach is present from 8.30 to about 10.00. Chabad of Tuscany is on Borgo Pinti. The synagogue and museum are open to visitors on a ticket and closed to visitors on Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
