Tempio Italiano in Jerusalem, Italian synagogue on Hillel Street, Jerusalem, Israel

The synagogue maintains its interior furnishings from the original Conegliano structure, including a Torah ark created around 1490 with gold leaf decorations.

Initially constructed between 1701 and 1719 in Conegliano, Italy, the synagogue was dismantled in 1950 and relocated to Jerusalem, opening in 1952.

The synagogue follows Minhag Italiani, a distinct Jewish ceremonial tradition, preserving centuries of Italian Jewish religious practices and customs.

The building opens for visitors from Sunday through Friday, operating in conjunction with the adjacent Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art.

Components of the original Italian structure were transported and integrated into the current building, creating a bridge between Italian and Israeli Jewish heritage.
