Neve Shalom Synagogue, ((トルコ語:Neve Şalom Sinagogu), (ヘブライ語:בית הכנסת נווה שלום); lit. "Oasis of Peace" or "Valley of Peace"), is a synagogue in the Karaköy quarter of Beyoğlu district, in Istanbul, Turkey. The synagogue was built in response to an increase in the Jewish population in the old Galata neighborhood (today encompassed by Beyoğlu district) in the late 1930s. A Jewish primary school was torn down in 1949 for that purpose and the synagogue was built on its ruins. The construction completed in 1951. Its architects were Elyo Ventura and Bernar Motola, young Turkish Jews. The inauguration of the synagogue was held on Sunday, March 25, 1951 (17 Veadar 5711, Hebrew calendar), in the presence of the Chief Rabbi of Turkey of the time, ''Hahambaşı'' Rav. Rafael David Saban. Neve Shalom is the central and largest Sephardic synagogue in Istanbul, open to service especially on Shabbats, High Holidays, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and weddings. Neve Shalom suffered three terrorist attacks: *On September 6, 1986, gunmen opened fire during a Shabbat service, which resulted in the death of 22 people. This attack is attributed to the Palestinian militant Abu Nidal. *On November 16, 2003, the Synagogue was hit by one of four car bomb attacks carried out in Istanbul that day (see 2003 Istanbul bombings). Even though a local Turkish militant group, the Great Eastern Islamic Raiders' Front, claimed responsibility for the attacks, police claimed the bombings were "too sophisticated to have been carried out by that group",〔 with a senior Israeli government source saying: "the attack must have been at least coordinated with international terror organizations".〔 ==See also== * History of the Jews in Turkey * List of synagogues in Turkey 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neve Shalom Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
