This
picture is based on one of the most beautiful ancient
synagogues in Safed which was built by the students
of the famous sage Rabbi Yitzhak Abuhav.
Rabbi Abuhav was a leader
of the Serphardic Jewish community expelled from Spain
in 1492 and died on his way to the Holy Land.
This synagogue houses his
personal Torah scroll which is still read three times
a year.
A legend claims that this synagogue was actually built
in Spain before the Expulsion and then magically transported
to Safed.
