Old Yishuv Court Museum

[1] The Old Yishuv Court Museum showcases the history of the Jewish community in Jerusalem from the mid-19th century to the Mandatory period.

Located in one of the oldest and most well-known courtyards in the Jewish Quarter, it was home to the families of F"h and Rosental, early pupils of Vilna Gaon, for five generations after their arrival in the 19th century.

During the Mandatory period, Rabbi A. Mordechai Weingarten's family lived there until the fall of the Jewish Quarter to the Arab Legion in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

The kitchen features baking and cooking areas with many items, and the courtyards display water holes, a manual pump, gutters, ornamental plants, a laundry corner, and a warehouse.

The craft room presents professions and trades from the past, such as a goldsmith, shoemaker, tailor, peddler, wool breaker, knife sharpener, and shoe shiner.

This led to inconspicuous prayer houses which, like the Ari Synagogue, were located in residential homes.
