That's the Khurva Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, also known as the Khurba Synagogue (khurba means ruin in Hebrew). It's currently being re-built. If you've ever been to the Jewish Quarter, you may recall a large stone arch spanning a small plaza. The arch commemorated the destruction of the Khurva by the Jordanians in 1948. You can see the arch in the partially re-constructied synagogue above. Here are some more pic's:  The dome of the Khurva once dominated the Old City skyline.  The Khurva rose 82 feet above the ground; note the arch below the dome.  Interior of the Khurva, 1935  1948  Commemorative arch built after the Six-Day War  Removing the commemorative arch, January 2006  Re-construction  Re-construction, July, 2007  Model of the Khurva Synagogue at the Israel Museum Link to Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurva_Synagogue Last edited by Elkhanan; 11th November 2007 at 06:23. | ||||||||||||
