About this audio guide
This guide to the Central Synagogue of Sofia is told partly through Robert Djerassi, who grew up inside the building, where his grandfather was the shammash. It covers the crowded opening day in September 1909 and the decades under communist rule that followed. Best heard standing in the great hall beneath the central dome.
