“Etz Hayim” (Tree of Life) Synagogue, Tiberias. Built by Rabbi Hayim Aboul’afia in 1740. The synagogue was built on the ruins of an earlier ancient synagogue, or according to some on the site of the Sanhedrin. The Jewish Sanhedrin of Jerusalem moved to Tiberias in 270 AD after the destruction of the Temple.
