Put the Beirav synagogue on your Tzfat itinerary and participate in our unique tefilah experience on your next trip!

The Beirav Synagogue is located on #10 Meginei Tzfat Street, a cobblestone alley just off Jerusalem Street, near Meginim Square in the Old City of Tzfat . During the week, the building is used as a classroom of the nearby Yosef Caro Hesder Yeshiva, as well as a meeting place for educational events and adult education classes.

Like many buildings in the Old City of Tzfat, the Beirav Synagogue is built entirely of Galilee stones, with stone arches framing its windows. But unlike most of Tzfat’s well-known synagogues, Beirav’s beauty does not lie in its furnishings. An exquisite Aaron Kodesh was donated by the Liberman family in memory of Josef Liberman z”l, and it is adorned with an equally one-of-a-kind parochet, hand-embroidered by a skilled artisan of the Old City . Congregants sit on simple plastic chairs. The building’s one rest room was an afterthought appended to the outside of the structure, as is common with buildings of this vintage.

Yet, like the sparkling crystal chandelier in the center of the synagogue, Beirav has countless shining facets – the people who come from all over the world to be part of its uniquely moving tefilah.
