Itzkovitch Synagogue (Hebrew: איצקוביץ') is an Orthodox Jewish shtiebel, located in central Bnei Brak, in greater Tel Aviv, Israel.

History

Itzkovitch Synagogue is one of the most active synagogues in the world, with prayer services taking place around the clock in multiple rooms. There are an average of 17,000 visitors a day. The synagogue is named for Zvi Itzkovitch, the original owner of the house, who wanted to stop traffic passing by his home on Shabbat. He took advantage of a law requiring that streets containing synagogues be closed on Shabbat by declaring one room in his house a synagogue.
