Beit Ha'Chidush
Synagogue in Amsterdam, Netherlands
About
Beit Ha'Chidush (meaning House of Renewal in Hebrew), abbreviated as BHC is a Progressive Jewish congregation, located in Amsterdam, in the North Holland region of The Netherlands. The congregation was founded in 1995 by predominately expatriate Jews with secular and religious backgrounds who wanted to create a welcoming, inspiring and renewed Jewish congregation.
Since 1997, the congregation has worshiped from the Uilenburg Synagogue, a synagogue located at Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 91, in Central Amsterdam. The synagogue was completed in the Louis XV style in 1766 and used by another congregation up until World War II. After a period of profane use by the Municipality of Amsterdam, the synagogue was transferred to the Uilenburgersjoel Foundation, for use by a variety of Jewish organisations.
