Ohel Yaarkov Synagogue
is one of Israel’s most beautiful synagogues.
It was established in 1886, sponsored by the Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, and was named Ohel Yaakov after the Baron’s father. The synagogue is located at the Moshava’s historic intersection (and not the highest point as was the custom in other Moshavot). It can seat 150 men, and about the same number at the women’s section. A Rosetta window that was originally set above the entrance door was later replaced by a clock with Hebrew letters, The Menorah at the top of the building was created by a local artist. The synagogue’s interior design maintains the spirit of the founders, and in its center you can see an original brass Hanukah menorah from the time of the Barron.
Service is held in the synagogue every day. Visitors are welcome during the afternoon before the Mincha prair. The place is open for prayer on Shabbat and Holidays. To coordinate visits and Bar Mitzvas please call 054-6464692
