*Synagogues in the Jewish Quarter: There are many synagogues in this Quarter. The oldest and most interesting synagogues are to be found off Jewish Quarter Road and Bet-El Road. First, the oldest, the Ramban Synagogue, was established in 1267 by Spanish rabbi Moshe ben Nahman (known as the Ramban) who remodelled an existing (marble-pillared) Crusader structure. When the Ramban arrived in Jerusalem he found only two Jews (cloth dyers) in the city: the ill-wind of the Inquisition blew more and more Jews to Jerusalem and the Ramban synagogue was at one time used by both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. Late in the 16th century, the synagogue was turned into a mosque. The present structure was built later by the Ashkenazi community and adjoins the old site. Renovated after 1967 it is now used for daily prayers. At the northern wall of the synagogue are the remains of the Hurva Synagogue, an impressive and important Ashkenazi devotional centre until 1948 when it was reduced to little more than a wall and rubble by the Arab Legion. Building of the Hurva Synagogue started as long ago as l700 with money from Sassoon and Rothschild for the Polish followers of Rabbi Yehuda the Hassid Moslem threats and the death of the rabbi delayed its completion until 1864. A stone arch has been reconstructed above the ruins as a memorial. Open: Sun.-Thurs., Sat. 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri. 9 a.m.-l p.m. Free. Four Sephardi Synagogues (Walk No. 1 ): down Beit-El Road built in the l6th century by exiles from Spain, the synagogues were restored to simple elegance and reopened in 1972. Open: Sun.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Fri 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The Synagogue of Elijah the Prophet (Eliahu Hanavi), around a cave supposedly frequented by Elijah, was used as a shelter for goats and other livestock by the Jordanians. Carved hands bless you at the door of the Istanbuli Synagogue the Synagogue of Rabbi Ben Zakkai, larger than the other three, was at one point made to look like a mosque to fool intolerant Turks who might have passed by finally the Middle (Emtzai) Synagogue - grew out of the courtyard and ritual bath used by the other three. Money for the improvements came from the patron saints of building and restoration in the Holy Land, the Rothschilds. The Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue, on the street of the same name, was one of the largest and most attractive synagogues in Jerusalem before 1948. Today all that remains is an arched facade. The Habad and Bet-El Synagogues are two other well-known places of worship in this area.
