Ari Synagogue, Heritage synagogue in Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem
The Ari Synagogue occupies the ground floor of the Old Yishuv Court Museum building, featuring traditional Ottoman architectural elements and religious artifacts.
The synagogue emerged during Ottoman rule when new Jewish places of worship were prohibited, leading to its establishment within a residential structure.
The site honors Rabbi Isaac Luria, a 16th-century Jewish mystic who developed Lurianic Kabbalah and influenced Jewish spiritual practices.
Visitors can access both the synagogue and the Old Yishuv Court Museum exhibits, which display Jerusalem Jewish life from the 19th century.
The structure survived the 1936 riots and maintains its dual function as an active synagogue and museum space in Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter.
