The Hurva shul ceremonies have begun
The festivities of the restoration of the Hurva Synagogue began yesterday, with the actual opening and rededication ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, Rosh Chodesh Nissan.
Yesterday they held a hachnassat sefer torah ceremony at the Hurva.
Kikar Shabbos has a whole slew of beautiful pictures of the shul and the event. Check it out.
