The Jerusalem Great Synagogue, Main synagogue in King George Street, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Jerusalem Great Synagogue features modernist architecture with design elements inspired by the Jewish Temple, incorporating arched windows and stone facades throughout the structure.
Sir Isaac Wolfson funded the synagogue's construction in 1982, dedicating it to the memory of Holocaust victims and fallen Israeli soldiers.
The synagogue holds both Ashkenazi and Sephardic religious services, reflecting the diverse Jewish traditions present in Jerusalem's Orthodox community.
The sanctuary accommodates 1,400 worshippers with separate seating arrangements: 850 seats for men and 550 seats for women, following Orthodox Jewish customs.
The lobby displays an extensive collection of mezuzah cases, representing different periods and styles of Jewish religious artistry.
