Tiferes Israel Synagogue in Jerusalem

-

Synagogue Tiferes Yisrael Synagogue in Jerusalem, also known as Nissan Bek Shul (Hebrew ניסן בק שול), is a non-existent synagogue located in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. The first Hasidim arrived in Jerusalem before 1747. However, only in 1837 Rabbi Nissan Beck began planning the construction of the synagogue. So far the Hasidim prayed in private homes.

In the 1930s rabbi Izrael Friedman from Ruyno heard Tsar Mikolaj I Romanov's intention to build a church in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old Town. In this situation, he instructed rabbi Nissan Beck to prevent the ruler from doing so. In 1843, after many efforts, he succeeded. Car had to buy another land and exonerated Rabbi Friedmann from the Russian Empire. After his death in 1851, Son Abraham Jacob Friedman of Sadagora continued to collect money for construction.

The construction of the synagogue began in 1857. During the work the Turkish authorities created various difficulties. Then Rabbi Beck persuaded Emperor Francis Joseph I, who positively intervened with the Turks. In 1858 Jews received a fiman for construction. The work was completed in 1871. The synagogue was solemnly opened on August 19, 1872.

During the First Israeli-Arab War in 1948, the Jordanian army won the synagogue, which served as a point of resistance. May 21, 1948 the building was blown up. In the 1960s, a new synagogue was erected in Jerusalem's New Town, resembling Tiferes Israel.
