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.
