Zichron Moshe synagogue, Religious center in Zikhron Moshe district, Jerusalem, Israel.
Zichron Moshe synagogue is a house of prayer in the Zikhron Moshe district of Jerusalem and stretches as a long hall. The interior is decorated with stained glass windows that depict Jewish holidays, musical instruments, and sacred locations.
The building began as a two-room apartment with a courtyard, then transformed from a pub into a synagogue through Yitzhak Armoza's donation. This conversion made it a religious center for the community.
The walls inside display artistic representations of the seven species from Torah and tribal symbols near the entrance. These visual elements tell biblical stories through art that visitors notice as they move through the space.
The building also houses Agudat Chesed and Rachamim with various community services. These services include a soup kitchen, kindergarten, and medical assistance provided through the Mazor fund.
A painting by artist A. Novak inside the synagogue depicts the Western Wall and was created in the 1950s. Decorative windows installed by Winston Doll in the 1980s further enhance the interior.
