The Peki’in Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת העתיק בפקיעין) located in the centre of Peki’in Northern Israel is said to have built into its walls two stones taken from the walls of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. The structure was extensively renovated in 1873 and some of it is said to date from the era of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai around the 3rd-4th century CE. Funding for the construction attested to on a plaque commemorating the donation was given by a Jew named Rafael Halevy from Beirut.
