Hello all,

I would like to point out that this is business page. Meaning that it has been up and maintained for financial gain purposes.

When you ask me question about Istanbul, turkish jewish history or jewish sight, I am answering them with a lot of joy.

But when you ask me information about family members who lived in Turkey and they history, I need to put time and effort to obtain the information requested. And I would like to get rewarded for tyhe effort I have put in.

Now, when you come to me with arguments like:
"Your are a tourism office, you can not find this infor ation, just find me the contact info of the person to ask", again it means I need to put time and effort to obtain this information.

Every institution of the Turkish Jewish community have an online presence. If you ask for my help, please be ready to pay for it. Otherwise please do not contact me at all.

Thanks

Would you like to invest in North Cyprus?
Modern North Cyprus is now seen as a booming, emerging market for property and other banking and business investments. The UN and EU sponsored bi-zonal reunification talks are once again on the table and this is driving up prices and international interest as it is anticipated that whichever way the reunification cookie crumbles, there will be significant property price rises in the near future.

Late Jewish History
The main reason for the Jewish community to lose their importance in the 18th century, as the leading ethnical group of the empire, was the Jews themselves. The social organization of the congregations which had to move to other neighborhoods because of fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters was dramatically affected by those migrations. In thepast, the social organization of different congregations was formed depending the country of origin and traditions.

Sirkeci Neighborhood:
Because its close location to the harbor and having the main train station used as the last stop of the Orient Express, Sirkeci has always been an important business area. During Byzantium period (657 BC – 196 AD) the Jews were settled on this part of the Golden Horn. This is the reason why this area was called Porta Iudeca (Jewish Gate) or Porta Hebraica (Hebrew Gate). There was a synagogue in this neighborhood at the beginning of the 13th century. This temple was destroyed in the fire of 1204. There was also a Caraim synagogue destroyed during the construction of the New Mosque at the end of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish population of Sirkeci grew very fast after the fires of Hasköy and Kulaksiz. The Jewish refugees coming to the Ottoman Empire during the Balkan War and 1st World War were also settled to this area. In 1919 there was a congregation of 500 families in Sirkeci.
