יפה ומרגש. בלב הרובע , מעל הקארדו ניצב בית כנסת החורבה. למטה יש המון מקומות של אוכל ומשם ממשיכים לכותל. מומלץ

I came to this Old Jerusalem Hurva Square to find the proof of past greatness of the British empire - here it is: British Post box. Why here? In this place? So far away from UK ? Think.

The square in front of this historied building is a good place to hang out after dark and meet all sorts of friendly people and have lively conversations. There we met a kind man who spoke good English and invited us to attend the coming day's gathering with a famous orthodox Rabbi, arguing, that "even if you're not a Jew or a believer, come, there will be lots of food!"

I first saw the Hurva Synagogue in 2004 when it was in ruins. It is now beautifully refurbished. The guided tour is especially helpful in understanding the history of the synagogue and of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. The Hurva is situated in the Rova or central square of the Jewish Quarter.

Wonderful! Recommended. Doesn't take forever as its a small National Park. And the two bridges aren't too scary. Easy parking available (pay via app).

I was lucky enough to get to the roof top. I'm not sure if it's usually open if even open often, but if you have the chance I greatly recommended sizing the opportunity. It gives you a beautiful view of the temple mount and the old city. And just really cool. There is a like map with English audio on top as well. The shul also offers a beautiful huge public sukkah on sukkos, as seen in this picture with the famous menorah. The sukka also had kosher refreshments (drinks and like cookies). On chol hamoed night there were simchas beis hashueivas in the shul as well. Live music and amazing dancing

Замечательно, что синагогу восстановили, прежде она пребывал практически в руинах, лишь с уцелевшей дугой.

The synagogue and its interesting history alone are more than enough to justify the small entrance fee. On top you get an amazing view over all of Jerusalem. The audioguides are for free an really useful.

One of the synagogues which has a lot of History. It was indeed interesting to read the history about it. The Synagogue is used as a place for learning the Torah. The view from the top is fascinating.

Amazing and moving, so much history and you feel like you're living in the prophecies of Jerusalem being rebuilt. Gorgeously refurbished. And great tefilot at netz and 7.45.

Situated in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, at equal distance of the Dung Gate (Western Wall entry), Zion Gate (King David's tomb) and Jaffa Gate (Tower of David entry), the synagogue was last destroyed in 1948 by Jordan, when its Arab Legion captured the Old City. It was recently (2010) and magnificently rebuilt by Israel in it's original form.
