The Or-Thora Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת אור תורה; Arabic: كنيس أور تورا بتونس), also erroneously called Or-Torah Synagogue, is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, that is located in the old city of Hara, in Tunis, Tunisia. Established in the 1930s, the synagogue ceased to operate during the Six-Day War in 1967.

History

It was completed in the early 1930s, prior to World War II.[1] It was designed by architects Aimé Krief and Jean Sebag.[1] Habib Bourguiba, who served as the President of Tunisia from 1957 to 1987, visited the synagogue on February 12, 1957.[1]

Decline

After the departure of most of the Tunisian Jews for Israel and France following the anti-Jewish riots during the Six-Day War in 1967,[2] which included the burning of the Torah Scrolls at the synagogue,[3] religious services stopped being offered at the synagogue. It is currently not in use.[4][5]

There are[when?] ongoing discussions among the Tunisian Jewish community and the residents of the Hafsia to turn the Or-Thora Synagogue into a museum of the Hara,[6][7] with a project led by Leila Ben Gacem[8] and a team of architects from the NGO Association de sauvegarde de la médina de Tunis, with the aim to save the synagogue from total degradation.
