Or Zaruaa Synagogue

The Or Zaruaa Synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת אור זרוע, נחלאות, ירושלים) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 3 Shmuel Refaeli Street, in the Nachlaot Ahim neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The congregation was founded in 1926 by Rabbi Amram Aburbeh for Maghrebi Jews from North Africa.

The synagogue was named Or Zaruaa after the Beth Midrash (study hall) Aburbeh's father Rabbi Shlomo Aburbeh held in his home in Avraham Azriel's court in the Old City of Jerusalem.
