Ohr ha-Chaim Synagogue, 18th-century synagogue in Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Ohr ha-Chaim Synagogue occupies the second floor of the Old Yishuv Court Museum complex, featuring separate prayer sections for men and women.
Rabbi Emanuel Hai Riki from Ferrara founded the synagogue in the 1700s, later becoming associated with Rabbi Chaim Ben Attar's seminary of 60 students.
The synagogue maintains daily prayer services and houses a morning kollel study program operated by the Karlin Hasidic community.
Visitors can access the synagogue through the Old Yishuv Court Museum entrance, with morning Shabbat prayers starting at 8:00.
After its destruction in 1948 during the War of Independence, the synagogue reopened in 1967 as an Ashkenazi prayer house.
