Four Sephardic Synagogues
The Four Sephardic Synagogues are a complex of four adjoining synagogues located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The four synagogues include the Eliahu Ha'navi Synagogue (established c. 1586), the Yochanan ben Zakai Synagogue (whose current building dates to the beginning of the 17th century), the Istanbuli Synagogue (established c. 1764), and the Emtsai Synagogue ("Middle Synagogue," also known as the Kahal Tzion Synagogue) formed from a courtyard amidst the synagogues that was roofed in the mid-18th century.The synagogues were built to accommodate the religious needs of Jerusalem's Sephardic community, with each congregation practicing a different rite, and most remain in active use.
