The Makarav Hassidim are descendents from Rebbe Menachem Nochum Twersky, a scion of the Chernobyl Hassidic dynasty. The sect comes from the town of Makariv in the Ukraine. During the Hassidic immigration to Israel in the late 1700s and early 1800s the Makarov community moved to Tzfat and established a synagogue in the northern section of the [[Old City Safed|Old City]], on Bar Yochai Street. | The Makarav Hassidim are descendents from Rebbe Menachem Nochum Twersky, a scion of the Chernobyl Hassidic dynasty.

It was kept locked and the key was held by a local artist. In the late 1990s the Chernobyl synagogue obtained the key and began to utilize it for study. Eventually they opened it for Sabbath prayers. |
