In 1553, Israel Isserles, a wealthy merchant, obtained a permit from King Sigismunt August to build a synagogue in Kazimierz. It is known as the Remuh Synagogue, an acronym for the founder's son, Rabbi Moses Isserles. The Remuh Synagogue is one of only two in the city where services are still held. It was destroyed by the Nazis and restored in 1957.
