Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue

Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Muslim Quarter, Old City of Jerusalem, Israel

Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue is a two-story stone building on al-Wad Street in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, about 100 m from the Chain Gate. Its ground floor held the Ohr Meir yeshiva, where students studied around the clock, and the upper floor, added in 1904, held two prayer rooms, one using Nusach Sefard and one Nusach Ashkenaz, plus a mikvah.

The synagogue was founded in the 1870s by Hungarian Jews from Kolel Shomrei HaChomos. After closing in 1938 during unrest, it reopened in 2008.

This place serves as a center for Orthodox Jewish daily prayer and Torah study within the Old City. Visitors can observe traditional religious practices that have been maintained by the community for generations.

The building sits on ha-Gai Street in the Old City and is accessible during regular prayer times. Visitors should follow dress codes and be prepared for an active place of worship.

The 1904 second storey was built overnight after Ottoman authorities warned the extension could not exceed the height of the Dome of the Rock. Under Turkish law a finished building could not be demolished, so the roof went up before dawn. The ground floor housed the Ohr Meir yeshiva, whose students studied around the clock.
