Ben Ezra Synagogue

简介

The Ben Ezra Synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת בן עזרא; Arabic: معبد بن عزرا), sometimes referred to as the Geniza Synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת הגניזה), originally the Synagogue of the Levantines (Judeo-Arabic: כניסת אלשאמיין), or the Synagogue of the Jerusalemites (Judeo-Arabic: כנסית הירושלמים) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the Fustat part of Old Cairo, Egypt. According to local folklore, it is located on the site where baby Moses was found. Given the small population of Egyptian Jews, the synagogue is no longer active and is largely a tourism site and Jewish museum. Source: Wikipedia — "Ben Ezra Synagogue" (CC BY-SA)
