Old Yishuv Court Museum

The Old Yishuv Court Museum is a cultural institution located in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, specializing in the field of Judaism. Situated on Or HaHaim Street, it serves as both a museum and a synagogue, providing a unique space for exploration and worship. As an ethnographic museum, it offers a glimpse into the traditional way of life of the Jewish Old Yishuv community.

The museum's exhibits focus on the late Ottoman and Mandatory periods, a time of significant historical change and transformation. The collections and displays showcase the community's lifestyle and experiences, culminating in the events leading up to the 1948 Palestine war and the subsequent fall of the Jewish Quarter to the Jordanian army. By preserving and presenting this history, the Old Yishuv Court Museum provides valuable insights into the cultural and social heritage of the Jewish community in Jerusalem during this period.
