Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue
Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת תפארת ישראל; Yiddish: Tiferes Yisroel), most often spelled Tiferet Israel, was one of the most outstanding synagogues in the Old City of Jerusalem in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was destroyed by the Arab Legion during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and left as ruins by the Israeli government after the recapture of the Old City in the Six-Day War. Named after Rabbi Yisroel of Ruzhin, founder of the Ruzhin Hasidic dynasty, it was also known as the Nissan Beck Shul, (Yiddish: ניסן בק שול), after its founder, Rabbi Nissan Beck.[1] In 2012 the Jerusalem municipality announced its approval for plans to rebuild the synagogue.[2] The cornerstone was laid on May 29, 2014
TIFERET ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE
This synagogue is reconstructed, after being destroyed in 1948 by the Arab Legion
Rebuilding a Jerusalem Synagogue Destroyed in 1948
NEWS DESK | The Tiferet Israel synagogue in Jerusalem, used to be one of the biggest and most flamboyant synagogues in the old city, until it was deliberately destroyed by the Jordanian Arab legion in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and it's community expelled from the city. A group of activists, politicians and philanthropies dream of restoring it to its old splendor. Our Daniel Campos has the story.
Story:
Look at the skyline of Jerusalem and you will know who has ruled the city.
From 1948 to 2010, the Jews had no skyscraper presence in the skyline of the holy city. The reason? In the aftermath of the 1948 war, as a form of religious humiliation to Israel and Jews around the world.
Jordanian soldiers of the Arab Legion, blew up the two tallest synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem: the Hurva synagogue and the Tiferet Israel Synagogue, both located in the Jewish Quarter.
Ninety-year-old Simcha Mandelbaum waited seven decades for the re-construction of the Tiferet Israel synagogue to begin. On Monday afternoon, the last day of 2018, his dream came true. The corner stone was laid and he was there to recite a blessing.
'At my age to be here today, is an end of a wonderful, wonderful life that I had, and ends up here, a place where my grandfather was the president of the synagogue over here,' a member of the Tiferet Israel community Simcha Mandelbaum says. 'We, as children and my parents, came to pray here, while we were living in the old city.'
For almost two decades from 1948 to 1967, Jews did not have access to their main holy sites and synagogues in the Old city.
'We didn’t know the synagogue was destroyed; we didn’t know what was happening in the Old City — only a few months later did we find out,' Mandelbaum explains.
It wasn’t until the city was re-captured by Israeli forces in the Six Day War that he was able to find the remains of his temple.
'In 1967, I was one of the first to enter the Old City with the army. Everything was destroyed. We couldn’t recognize the buildings, the houses around here were broken — it took us months to recognize the synagogues,' Mandelbaum recalls.
The restoration project was made possible thanks to donations from the Jewish diaspora and the political lobbying of government ministers such as former Construction and Housing Minister Yoav Galant, Minister of Health Rabbi Yaakov Litzman and the newly elected Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Leon.
'We decided that we are going to rebuild this synagogue, because we are the ones who control have the rights in this holy city of Jerusalem,' Galant says.
'I was difficult to raise money, but it's a great piece of history, religion and geography in the world and we will get it done,' says Brian Sherr, a fundraiser for the reconstruction project.
The project is expected to stretch over years years and will include a museum in the underground floors. The height of the synagogue will be 25 meters.

In First, Hebrew Inscriptions Found in Excavation of Vilna’s Great Synagogue Destroyed in Holocaust
Cantor Yehoshua Lerer Ono Bekoach Concert (Goldberg)
CANTOR YOSHUA LERER
Cantor Yoshua Lerer was born to and an old and well-established Jerusalem family in 1920. The head of the family, Rabbi Aharon Natan settled in Israel over a generation ago. Rabbi Aharon Natan was the possessor of a magnificent voice, and functioned sanctimoniously at additional prayers in the great synagogue ''Tiferet Yisrael'' of Rabbi Nissan Bach in the old city of Jerusalem.
Cantor Yoshua Lerer, who from childhood was endowed with a pleasant and powerful voice, was raised in an atmosphere of singing and chanting, and his whole desire was to follow in the footsteps of his forebears whilst aspiring to advance along the road of the famous Cantors. As a child, his father placed him with the choir of Cantor Rabbi Shalom Zalman Rivlin. It took Rabbi Zalman only a short time to discern the boy's qualities and his talent as a Cantor, and he foretold a brilliant future for him. He served the boy as a guide on his initial path as a Cantor, entrusted him with superior functions as soloist when famous master cantors such as Rosenblatt, Kwartin, Hershman and others conducted prayers in Jersualem. The boy did not disappoint Rabbi Zalman, his guide and teacher. In addition to these talents, the boy displayed great determination and reached his desired goal. At the age of 17, Lerer conducted prayers together with Cantor Kwartin at the festival of Shavout at the ''Ohel Shem'' Hall in Tel Aviv in 1937.
At the age of 21, Cantor Yoshua Lerer was engaged as chief cantor by the central synagogue, ''Har Hacarmel'' in Haifa and held this position for 12 years. The congregation was enthralled by his pleasant and sweet prayers and would not allow Lerer to relinquish his position in the synagogue. It was only after Lerer had been invited by America and South African impresarios to conduct prayers as a guest cantor, that the finally consented since they had no option and agreed to the cantor's wishes.
In the United States Lerer accepted the post to Chief cantor in Cleveland. In addition to his many appearances in conducting festival prayers and concerts in different towns in America, under the auspices of the impresario Mr Heyman of Chicago. Lerer continued his training as a cantor and achieved much towards improving his scope in the fields of voice development, singing and music. In South Africa too, Lerer enchanted the congregations by his performances and he was offered important and permanent posts as chief cantor.
However, Lerer preferred to return to Israel where he was appointed chief cantor of the great synagogue in Hadera, and later as chief cantor of the great synagogue in Ramat Gan. Finally, he was appointed chief cantor of the great synagogue in Tel Aviv.
The most famous musicians have counseled Lerer to devote himself to opera as a means of elevating him to the peak in the sphere of singing, but Lerer has his traditions and because of his desire to guard the heritage passed on to him by his ancestors, pays no attention to the advices of his counselors, and continues to server in sanctity, in accordance with appointed destiny. Lerer is today recognized as one of the famous Cantors of contemporary times.

The Jewish Quarter The Old City of Jerusalem
The Jewish Quarter (Hebrew: הרובע היהודי, HaRova HaYehudi or the Rova, Arabic: حارة اليهود, Harat al-Yehud) is one of the four traditional quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem. The 116,000 square meter area[1] lies in the southeastern sector of the walled city, and stretches from the Zion Gate in the south, along the Armenian Quarter on the west, up to the Street of the Chain in the north and extends to the Western Wall and the Temple Mount in the east.
The quarter is inhabited by around 2,000 residents and is home to numerous yeshivas and synagogues, most notably the Hurva Synagogue. After being built in 1701, destroyed, rebuilt in 1864, and destroyed in 1948, the Hurva was once again rebuilt, rededicated in 2010.
History
Early 20th century. The Jewish quarter is at the bottom of the image. The two large domes are the Hurva Synagogue and the Tiferes Yisrael Synagogue. Both were destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948.
The quarter has had a rich history, with a nearly continual Jewish presence since the eighth century BCE.[citation needed] When, in CE 135, the Roman Emperor Hadrian built the city of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of ancient Jerusalem, the Tenth Legion had their camp on the land that is now the Jewish Quarter.[2] At the turn of the 20th century the Jewish population of the quarter reached 19,000.[3] At no time was its population purely and homogenously Jewish - such a rule being neither desired by the Jewish inhabitants nor enforced by the Ottoman or British rulers; in fact, there had always been a considerable non-Jewish population living among its Jews. Almost all the properties in the Quarter were rented by their occupants from Muslim endowments (Waqfs), which owned them. This is one of the reasons for the growth of buildings West of the city in the last years of the Ottoman Empire since land outside the city was freehold (mulk) and easier to acquire.[4]
An Arabic inscription dating back to the 10th century CE from the Abbasid Caliphate has been found in the Jewish Quarter.
In April 1968 Pinhas Sapir, Israel's Minister of Finance, signed an order confiscating 129 dunams (about 32 acres) of land which had made up the Quarter before 1948.[12] As a result, 6,000 residents were evicted from 1,048 apartments, and 437 shops and workshops employing 700 workers were closed.[13] In 1969 the Jewish Quarter Development Company was established under the auspices of the Construction and Housing Ministry to rebuild the desolate Jewish Quarter.[14] At this stage the Arab population of the Quarter reached approximately 1,000, most of whom were refugees[citation needed] who had appropriated the vacated Jewish houses in 1949. Although many had originally fled the Quarter in 1967, they later returned after Levi Eshkol ordered that the Arab residents not be forcefully evacuated from the area. With Menachem Begin's rise to power in 1977, he decided that 25 Arab families be allowed to remain in the Jewish Quarter as a gesture of good will, while the rest of the families who had not fled during the Six-Day War were offered compensation in return for their evacuation, although most declined.[3] The quarter was rebuilt in keeping with the traditional standards of the dense urban fabric of the Old City. Residents of the quarter hold long-term leaseholds, leased from the Israel Lands Administration.[14] As of 2004 the quarter's population stood at 2,348[15] and many large educational institutions have taken up residence.
Before being rebuilt, the quarter was carefully excavated under the supervision of Hebrew University archaeologist Nahman Avigad. The archaeological remains, on display in a series of museums and outdoor parks to visit which tourists descend two or three stories beneath the level of the current city, collectively form one of the world's most accessible archaeological sites.
The most famous site of the Jewish Quarter is The Western Wall, the only surviving portion of the retaining wall around the Temple of Jerusalem. It consists of huge ashlar blocks that have been in place for two millennia. It is a major site for pilgrimage for Jewish people from all over the world, and is also a major tourist attraction for people of all faiths. Visitors insert handwritten prayers into the interstices between the stones. Pious men continually read the entire book of Psalms in front of the wall. Bar Mitzvahs are joyfully celebrated here.
Next to the Wall is a huge plaza, covering a substantial portion of the Jewish Quarter (see map above), allowing worshippers and visitors a good view of the Wall and access to it. The plaza has no artworks or monuments.

Old Sephardic Synagogue in South Central LA
Kahel Kadosh Tiferet Yisrael was originally the Sephardic Jewish synagogue for Syrian and Iraqi Jews in the heart of South Central LA. Today it is the beating heart of the African-American community with an increasing Latino settlement.
On Sunday's my friend Irv Weiser hit up the blues jukejoints in the hood. This day he decided to blow my mind and take me to see this beauty. Just on a whim we decided to go in and get to know the people occupying this building. We found a Spanish service being held and went in. This is part of my experience...
I got to see the entire building. I also got the thrill to record the women's section, according to the Orthodox tradition. I then had a wonderful conversation, with the ushers asking me questions about Judaism once i turned the camera off.
Over the next few months I will be writing about the influence of Sephardic Jews in Los Angeles history. The foundational history which is greatly overlooked.
It should be noted that during the age of segregation South Central (the ghetto South of Adams) was home to these racialized Sephardic Jews who weren't white European. In contrast to the other Red Lined ghetto east Boyle, where the Eastern European Jews primarily where segregated into. It important to also try to explore the social implications of such a far divide. Anyone want to take a stab at that topic with me?
