Nachlaot

Nachlaot (Hebrew: נחלאות, also Naḥlaʾoth) is a cluster of 32 courtyard neighborhoods[1] in central Jerusalem surrounding the Mahane Yehuda Market.

The neighborhoods that make up the Nachlaot district were established beginning in the late 1870s outside the walls of the Old City, which was becoming increasingly overcrowded and unsanitary.

Or Zaruaa Synagogue, founded in 1926 by Rabbi Amram Aburbeh for the Ma'araviim Jewish congregation, also served as a yeshiva for religious students.

The building located on 3 Shmuel Refaeli street in Nahalat Ahim neighborhood was declared a historic preservation site in 1989, under cultural heritage protection.

The Romaniote community of Jerusalem holds its religious services in the synagogue Beit Avraham Ve'ohel Sarah liKehilat Ioanina, which is also in Nachlaot.

[7] Yeshiva Sulam Yaakov was founded in 2006 by Rabbi Aaron Leibowitz; it serves, largely, the "Anglo" community.
