The synagogue also offers interactive exhibitions, educational activities, and guided visits to keep the public engaged and informed. Inside the building are two prayer halls, the exact replicas of the two that used to exist in the pre-war times, and a museum, which tells the story of the Jews of Berlin over six centuries. The New Synagogue's outside grounds host a Jewish Cemetery and Jewish Resource Center.
