Beit Yehudayoff

The building features a 55-meter neo-Renaissance facade with arched windows, pilasters, reliefs, and a decorative wrought-iron railing on the flat roof.

Constructed in 1907 by wealthy Bukharan merchant families, the building served various purposes including Turkish occupation during World War I and British forces afterward.

The structure includes a synagogue on the top floor, reflecting the religious significance and traditional elements of the Bukharan Jewish community in Jerusalem.

The building currently houses two religious girls' schools and remains an educational center within the Bukharan Quarter of Jerusalem.

The thirty-room structure earned the nickname 'The Palace' due to its grand architecture and the extensive use of imported materials from Central Asia.
