History
The first synagogue in the Old Fish Market was built in 1381 by Judah, the son of Saul, the Sephardi Abu Isaac. The original foundation stone of the 1381 building, since dislocated, read:
I, Yehouda, son of Rav Saul Sephar, son of Isaac of revered memory, have brought…, built… for the forgiveness of my soul and my parents’ soul in the year 1311 of the destruction of the Temple… .
In 1881 the synagogue went through renovations. Dedications inscribed on ritual objects donated to the Zaradel Synagogue reveal that some of them were of North African origin, known as Mugrhabim, as the finial donated by Jacob Zuaris and his sons, who originated from Guarish (Gawarish) in Libya.
In the World of Darkness this Synagogue was established by those who survived imprisoning the Eubayd al-Ghul. A Cenacula was established here, and a result band of Hunters has lived here ever since. Their books and scrolls are some of the best lore in the world of Darkness around the Eubayd, and vampires. Smart vampires avoid the Synagogue, as it presents significant danger to the Masquerade.
