As of March 2009 it was temporarily open on Saturdays for guided tours in the context of the celebrations of 420 years of the arrival of the first Jews to the Azores.

The interior retains its original character and on display are some objects of worship, especially a chair of circumcision from 1819, chandeliers and diverse historical documentation in Hebrew.

[citation needed] In 2010, historical religious objects, manuscripts and printed documents were found which constituted a valuable collection of the history of the community.

The site of the former synagogue was leased to the Municipality of Ponta Delgada by the Jewish Community of Lisbon, for a term of 99 years.

With philanthropic support the Municipality completed the restoration of the property in April 2015, and reclassified the building as a Jewish museum and for use for cultural and tourism activities.
