Episode ImageAfter two weeks of intense combat, the Jews in the Jewish Quarter finally surrendered. The Arabs destroyed the Hurva synagogue, the last stronghold of the Jewish fighters. The Jews lost all connection to the Old City until 1967, but they came back and today the Hurva, after lying in ruins for 60 years, is being rebuilt.
