Jerusalem’s Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue

One good example of why the Worm’s aim of Israel’s withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines will never happen. From 1948 to 1967 the Jordanians controlled this part of the old city. The intolerant Muslims desecrated the circa 17th century Eliyahu Hanavi (Elijah the Prophet) synagogue and used it as a horse stable. Since 1967 it has been restored to its former beauty.
