KARAITE SYNAGOGUE
Go there and contact
The Karait synagogue is the oldest active synagogue in Jerusalem and the country. Its construction is attributed to Anan Ben David, one of the main Karaite religious leaders of the 8th century. Karaism is a current of Judaism that recognizes only the Hebrew Bible, rejecting the Oral Law and thus rabbinic Judaism. The synagogue is unusual in that it is underground. Destroyed in 1948, it was completely restored in 1979. A small museum introduces visitors to this ancient and little-known community, which has lived in the old town since the 8th century.
