The Zaradel Synagogue was a former Jewish synagogue, that was located on Rue de France (Amram Street), in the Old Fish Market (Souk el-Samak el Kadim), in Alexandria, Egypt.
[1][2] The first synagogue in the Old Fish Market was built in 1381 by Judah, the son of Saul, the Sephardi Abu Isaac.
The original foundation stone of the 1381 building, since dislocated, read: I, Yehouda, son of Rav Saul Sephar, son of Isaac of revered memory, have brought…, built… for the forgiveness of my soul and my parents’ soul in the year 1311 of the destruction of the Temple… .
The Spanish origins of the founder (Saul the Sephardi), do not testify to the identity of the congregation who prayed in the synagogue during later periods.
Dedications inscribed on ritual objects donated to the Zaradel Synagogue reveal that some of them were of North African origin, known as Mugrhabim, as the finial donated by Jacob Zuaris and his sons, who originated from Guarish (Gawarish) in Libya.
