בית מדרש גור, Synagogue of Ger Hasidic Dynasty in Yirmiyahu Street, Jerusalem, Israel.

The Ger Beit Midrash spans 35,000 square meters with grand stone arches adorning its facade and accommodates 20,000 seats inside its halls.

The construction began in 1989 on a 17-dunam plot formerly occupied by the Schneller Army Camp and a brick factory in Jerusalem.

The synagogue functions as the central study hall and prayer center for the Ger Hasidic community, hosting thousands during Sabbaths and festivals.

The building contains separate prayer halls, study rooms, and residential quarters for the Grand Rabbi and his extended family during their stays.

This religious complex stands as the largest synagogue worldwide, featuring massive Jerusalem stone-clad arches and extensive ceremonial spaces.
