The ‘Hurva’ Synagogue, also known as‘Beit Yaakov’, was originally built in 1864, and has been one of the prominent sites of the Jewish community in Jerusalem. The name ‘Hurva’ (‘ruin’ in Hebrew) commemorates the destruction of the synagogue by the Jordanian Legion forces, that occupied the Jewish Quarter in 1948, during the War of Independence. After 62 years of standing as a ruin, the synagogue was reconstructed on the 15th of March, 2010.
