The Netherlands Government will contribute the equivalent of $112,000 and the city of Amsterdam about $32,000 toward the cost of rehabilitating the famed Sephardic Synagogue here.

The building, which was consecrated in 1675 and is believed to be the oldest synagogue still standing in West Europe, is classified as a Netherlands national monument.
