The largest synagogue in Istanbul, built in the 1950s for Galata's Sephardic community. The name means 'Oasis of Peace' in Hebrew — a bittersweet choice given the building's tragic history of attacks. Security is heavy but visits can be arranged; the interior is modern and spacious, a testament to the resilience of Istanbul's Jewish community.
