Ancient Synagogues
The ancient synagogue in Katzrin dates from the Talmud period and is built of ashlar stone.
It was destroyed in the great earthquake of 749.
The structure reflects the wealth of the Jewish community that thrived during that period.
It has been partially restored.
The bimah is in the southern part of the synagogue and faces toward Jerusalem.
Entry to the site is for a fee.
