You enter the synagogue today, through a gated courtyard entrance in the rear. For walking directions to the synagogue from the Roxalana Hotel (now called the Auscoprut Hotel, as of September, 2000) click here.

In the gated courtyard, where one now enters the synagogue, there is a tiny free standing building (roughly the size of a toll booth) that looks like it might have once been a guard house of some sort. In September, 1997, it housed a jewelry repair shop. Neither of the two businesses in the synagogue property (this jewelry repair shop or the furniture shop in the front of the building) are run by Jews or are affiliated with the synagogue in any way. Both seem highly incongruous.
