Jewish Quarter PhotosThe Jewish Quarter, HaRova HaYehudi or the Rova, one of the four traditional quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem. The quarters lies in the southeastern sector of the walled city, and stretches from the Zion Gate in the south, along the Armenian Quarter on the west, up to the Street of the Chain in the north and extends to the Western Wall and the Temple Mount in the east. The quarter is inhabited by around 2,000 residents and is home to numerous yeshivas and synagogues, most notably the Hurva Synagogue. After being built in 1701, destroyed, rebuilt in 1864, and destroyed in 1948, the Hurva was once again rebuilt, rededicated in 2010.Photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye |
