Keren Yeshoua Synagogue

Such an astonishing synagogue with its moorish architecture but sadly it’s closed and I’m not sure if it’s opened for visitors

I can't find the place lol

The Keren Yéchoua Synagogue of La Marsa, sometimes spelled Keren Ichoua, is a Tunisian synagogue located at number 4 of Slim Haider Street in La Marsa (suburb of Tunis). Inaugurated in 1927, its first stone was laid in 1925. It is the work of a Jewish community association La Marsa founded in 1923 and named Keren Yéchoua after the name of the philanthropist Yéchoua Sauveur Kisraoui who offered the ground to the association. This synagogue has, in the course of its history, passed generations of Tunisian Jews who prayed there, learned, celebrated their family events (marriage, Bar Mitzvah, etc.) while many personalities and rabbis attended it or simply visited. It is therefore one of the jewels of Tunisian Jewish heritage and remains highly respected by the Muslim population. This synagogue, which serves as a place of worship for the Jewish community of La Marsa, also has a Kouttab talmudic school. Since the early 1980s, due to the decline in the number of worshipers, the synagogue only provides services during the summer period (July-August), during which time many Jewish tourists come to spend their holidays in hotels. Marsa and Gammarth. Isaac Kalfon is minister-officiating and responsible. The synagogue is renowned for its Andalusian architectural style. It is painted in blue and white, which are also the traditional colors of the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Saïd overlooking La Marsa. Until 1994, the synagogue had a dome that collapsed following severe weather. Large tables of the stone law have since dominated the building. The interior of the synagogue has a unique circular tabernacle, and a teba (central platform on which officiates the minister of worship) cut in the wood by famous cabinetmakers. It is said that the bey of Tunis, who was passionate about art and had a second home in La Marsa, came to assist in the shaping of this teba. The synagogue contains many other religious and decorative objects (menorahs, chandeliers, etc.). It also includes a blessing for the Bey of Tunis and for the President of the Republic of Tunisia engraved in marble in Hebrew, Arabic and French. Finally, the veranda at the back of the building offers a magnificent panorama of the shores of La Marsa. Nicknamed by some faithful "the synagogue of miracles", the synagogue of La Marsa has lived many adventures during its history. During the Second World War and the German occupation, she was saved from an American bombardment. Indeed, the Kommandantur headquarters are only ten meters from the synagogue in the Zephyr Hotel, and legend has it that the pilot spotted the Star of David on the dome of the synagogue and then moved his trajectory so as not to reach this one. The bomb finally fell in the neighborhood of Saf-Saf 200 meters from the synagogue. Subsequently, allied Jewish soldiers came to pray at the synagogue and a photo of this event is kept there.
