Istanbul's Jewish Heritage (Option 3)
TOUR ITINERARY : The tour starts in GALATA, one of the oldest Jewish Neighborhoods in Istanbul as during Theodosius II. Period, Jews living in Constantinople were exiled to this area, famous with its tower constructed in the 14th century by the Genoese. After the interior visits of the Neve Salom synagogue(the biggest synagogue in Istanbul, used today more as a community center) and the Ashkenazi synagogue (the only Ashkenazi synagogue active today), we will walk to the Tofre Begadim synagogue (constructed as an Ashkenazi temple, it is converted to the Schneider Temple Art Gallery). Depending availability, we will visit the synagogue and the Kamondo stairs (constructed by the most important Jewish family in Istanbul at the end of the 19th century as a shortcut) We will drive to Balat, residential area of the Ottoman Jews where the "Star of David" and other inscriptions still appear on the facades of some buildings. We will visit the Yanbol (a temple constructed by the Bulgarian immigrants at the end of the 15th century, still active today) and the Cana (a temple constructed mid-15th century, abandoned in 1930’s) synagogues from outside, we will enter the Ahrida (the oldest active temple in Istanbul from 1404, very well know with its boat shaped Teva) synagogue. After a short walk in Balat neighborhood, we will visit the Or A Hayim Jewish Hospital (constructed by two Jewish doctors in the 19th century still belonging to the Jewish Community, used today as a public Hospital). Haskoy (main Jewish neighborhood in the 17th century) will be our next stop. We will visit the Ashgar (or Asphar synagogue converted to a coffee house) and the Mayor (a temple from the 17th century used partially as an art gallery, partially as factories) synagogue and the Maalem (the only active synagogue in Haskoy), we will visit the Jewish Elderly Home, the old Alliance Israelite Universelle high school building. We will have a Kosher Lunch in the Elderly Home. We will visit the old Haskoy Cemetery (expropriated during the construction of the 1st highway) and the Kamondo Mausoleum. We will drive to KAGITHANE, and see the old Jewish Gravestones discovered in the garden of a home. There are no records of Jewish presence in this neighborhood, but yet there was a small congregation here. Next stop the Zulfaris synagogue or the Quincentenial Jewish museum. This building from the 17th century takes its name from the many wedding performed here. Zulfaris in old Turkish means the “fridge of a bride “ We will go to ArnavutkoY (summer resort neighborhood of the rich Jewish families in the 19th century) to see the ruins of the Etz A Hayim synagogue of ArnavutkoY. This temple from the end of the 19th century was completely abandoned in 1950’s after a fire.) The tour will end in Ortakoy (the disembarquement point of the Sephardic Jews coming from Spain in 1492) after the visit of the Ulus Ashkenazi Cemetery (where the martyrs of Neve Salom attacks are buried) and Ulus Sephardic Cemetery. The Etz A hayim synagogue of Ortakoy will be our last visit. Constructed in the 16th century, the building was renewed several times.
