Tomb of the Prophet Hazkiel, Jewish tomb and synagogue in Amedi, Iraq
The Tomb of the Prophet Hazkiel is a sanctuary in Amedi that contains a burial vault and religious prayer spaces. The structure has served for centuries as a place of worship and spiritual reverence.
The sanctuary was established around 1250 after two Jewish brothers settled in the region. A synagogue was later constructed and named after the revered prophet.
The site is named after a prophet honored across Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions. Visitors from all three faiths come to the location to express their spiritual connection.
The sanctuary sits in the mountainous Kurdistan region and welcomes religious pilgrims of all faiths. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and remember that this is an active place of worship.
Jewish pilgrims traditionally gathered here during the Shavuot festival to honor their connection to the sacred burial site. This annual gathering was an important part of their religious practice in the region.
