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

The building combines study halls and prayer spaces across multiple floors, serving the needs of both Hasidic and Perushim communities in Jerusalem.

Founded in the 1870s by Hungarian Jews of Kolel Shomrei HaChomos, the synagogue closed during the 1938 Arab riots and reopened in 2008.

The synagogue maintains traditional Orthodox Jewish practices, providing a center for daily prayers, Torah study, and religious education in Jerusalem.

Located on ha-Gai Street in the Muslim Quarter, the synagogue offers regular prayer services and contains essential facilities including a mikvah.

During its 1904 expansion, the construction team completed the upper floor overnight to bypass Ottoman height restrictions on religious buildings.
