Menachem Zion

Menachem Zion

The Menachem Zion Synagogue located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, Jerusalem, Israel, was completed in 1837. Built by the "Perushim," it was named after their leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov and after the blessing of consolation recited on "Tisha B'Av": "Blessed be He who consoles ("menachem") Zion and rebuilds Jerusalem".

Rabbi Daniel Sperber leads the congregation.
