Hurva Synagogue (English: Ruined Synagogue) is the currently largest synagogue in the Jewish Quarter. It was originally intended for construction in the 18th century. A small building was constructed, but due to financial difficulties, the intended larger building was not completed. The building was destroyed by an earthquake, and a second attempt to build a large synagogue was blocked by Arab landowners in the early 19th century failed. In the 1830s, multiple small synagogues were built around the site. In the 1860s, the large synagogue was completed. It was destroyed by the Jordanians following the
1947–1949 Palestine war. The synagogue was rebuilt in 2010 and is a distinguished feature of Jerusalem's Old City skyline. • , completed in 1837. Built by the

Zoharei Chama Synagogue, on
Jaffa Road The
Talpiot neighborhood in Jerusalem was established immediately after
World War I. Its planners' intention was to make it into the capital city of the nascent State of Israel. The first synagogue in the neighbourhood was in a hut, which was established to serve as a structure for the builders of the neighbourhood and after the completion of the construction was converted into a mixed Ashkenazi and Sephardic synagogue. Among the first worshipers of the
minyan in the hut was the writer
Shmuel Yosef Agnon, who lived in the neighbourhood. He described the hut and how the prayer was conducted in it in the short story "The Symbol" (
The Fire and the Trees), Tel Aviv Press 1961. The
cornerstone of the current building was laid in
Chanukah 1934, in the presence of Rabbi
Avraham Yitzhak HaCohen Kook. With the outbreak of
the 1936–1939 riots, the construction of the synagogue was delayed and the structure remained neglected. After the outbreak of
World War II in 1939 the British confiscated the building and established in it a police station and a warehouse. After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, during the period when Talpiot was a
transit camp (''ma'abara''), the State used the building as a warehouse of equipment for the transit camp. In the 1950s the building was leased to the
Hebrew University and served as a warehouse of its medical school. In the late 1960s the building returned to the Jerusalem municipality, who renovated the building with the assistance of the
Jerusalem Foundation and with a contribution received from author S. Y. Agnon, a resident of the neighbourhood, out of the money he received for the
Nobel Prize. In the month of Elul 5772 (1972) the synagogue was again inaugurated in a procession where the
Torah scrolls from the hut were brought in. • Yad Tamar Synagogue, Rehavia • Yakar Synagogue,
