+ | [[Rabbi Yosef Karo|Rabbi Joseph Caro]] came to Tzfat in the early 1500s from Turkey. His family had escaped the Inquisition in Spain. Rabbi Caro worried that, in the face of the dispersion caused by the Inquisition, Jews would not know how to perform the Jewish rituals and traditions according to Jewish Law. He sat in a small room and wrote the “[[Shulchan Aruch|Shulhan Aruch]].” The Shulhan Aruch guides Jews in the performance of the commandments of the Jewish religion. The Joseph Caro synagogue, on Alkabetz Street, stands above the room where Rabbi Caro wrote the Shulhan Aruch. It served as the Rabbinical Court over which Rabbi Caro presided and later as a study hall. Today it houses a Sepharadi minyan. | ||
