In the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, in the center of the Jewish Quarter and within walking distance of the Western Wall, sits one of the most unique and remarkable synagogues in the country: The Hurva Synagogue. The reason for the name \u2018Hurva\u2019, which means \u2018ruin\u2019 in Hebrew, lies in the history of the synagogue. It was built in the early 18th century, but was soon after destroyed by rioters. In the mid-19th century, the synagogue was rebuilt by local Jews, and it served as the center of the city\u2019s Jewish community until the height of the British mandate period. In 1948, the synagogue was once again destroyed by the Arab Legion who occupied the Old City.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
