Between Samarkand and Jerusalem: A tour of the Bukhara neighborhood

Want to get to know a magical corner of Jerusalem that tells the special story of the Jews of Bukhara?
Are you curious about special buildings, including one called "The Palace of the Messiah"?
Want to get to know the small Bokhari market and even see a Spanish tourist?

You are invited to experience the Bukharim neighborhood with us!

On the tour, we will go out into the streets of the Bukhara neighborhood in Jerusalem and dive into the world of Bukhara immigrants in Jerusalem, combined with a touch of the Haredi world that exists today in the neighborhood. We will see the Bukhara palace of the Yehudioff family, we will learn about the great textile industrialist of Samarkand, Yosef Davidoff, we will see the House of Musayof and the House of Hajj Yehezkel (and along the way we will learn why a Jew bears the title of Hajj), the Synagogue of Adoniyu HaCohen, the House of Zufioff, the House of Musayof and even see a unique Sephardic tiblach and experience the renovated Bukhara market.

Finally, we will visit the Zephaniah Hotel, which will take us back on a nostalgic journey through time.
