Italian Synagogue (Jerusalem)
The Italian Synagogue of Jerusalem (Hebrew: בית הכנסת האיטלקי, ירושלים), also known as the Conegliano Veneto Synagogue, is a Rococo-style synagogue located at 27 Hillel Street in central Jerusalem. Originally built in 1701 in the Jewish ghetto of Conegliano in the Veneto region of northern Italy, its entire interior was dismantled and shipped to Israel in 1951 and formally dedicated in Jerusalem on 4 April 1952. The synagogue shares its building with the Umberto Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art, established in 1982. Services are conducted according to the Italian rite (Minhag Italia), one of the most ancient surviving Jewish liturgical traditions, which the Jerusalem Foundation describes as "closely related to the tradition that prevailed during the Second Temple Period."
