Beit Yitzchak: An important building which was originally constructed as a Jewish religious center in the Old City of Jerusalem in the mid-19th century, The Moskowitz Foundation is sponsoring the rehabilitation of the synagogue for public use in Jerusalem.

The building is one of three large and elegant synagogues constructed in the old city during the 19th century, and following the Six-Day War in 1967 was returned to Israel's control. The Moskowitz Foundation is sponsoring the reconstruction and restoration of the synagogue due to its historical, archaeological, urban and architectural importance. The synagogue, when completed, will be used for regular services and will be open to general access as well.
