Maimonides Synagogue
The Maimonides Synagogue (, translit: ''Beit Knesset ha-Rambam''; (アラビア語:كنيس ابن ميمون)), also known as the Rav Moshe Synagogue, is a historic synagogue located in Cairo, Egypt. A synagogue has existed at the site since the 10th century and was subsequently named after the famous Jewish philosopher, rabbi and physician Maimonides, after his arrival there in around 1168. It is believed that Maimonides' original tomb is contained within the building.〔 In March 2010, the Egyptian government completed the restoration of the current building which dates from the late 19th century.
==Early history==
A synagogue has existed at the site from around two centuries before Maimonides emigrated to Egypt in around 1168, following his exile from Córdoba, Spain at the hands of the Almohads.〔Goitein, S.D. ''Letters of Medieval Jewish Traders''. Princeton University Press, 1973 (ISBN 0-691-05212-3), p. 208〕〔1954 ''Encyclopedia Americana'', vol. 18, p. 140.〕 The Almohads had conquered Córdoba in 1148 and threatened the Jewish community with the choice of conversion to Islam, death, or exile. Maimonides' family, along with most other Jews, chose exile.〔 After spending ten years in southern Spain, they moved to Morocco and then eventually settled in Fustat, Egypt in around 1168. In Egypt, he gained widespread recognition and became a court physician to Qadi al-Fadil, Grand Vizier to Saladin. Maimonides studied and worked in a ''yeshiva'' attached to the small synagogue. The synagogue and yeshiva are located in Harat al-Yahud, the Jewish quarter of medieval Cairo, and can only be reached on foot. (In the time of Maimonides, 97% of the inhabitants of Harat al-Yahud were Jews.)
After his death in Fustat on December 12, 1204, it is believed that he was buried for a short while at the synagogue before being reinterred in Tiberias.〔(The Life of Maimonides ) Jewish National and University Library〕 According to tradition, his bones were placed for a week in a small shrine where he used to study and to heal strangers. (Some believe his bones never left Egypt.)
