Zarzis Synagogue (Arabic: كنيس جرجيس) also known as Beit HaKnesset Mishkan Ya’akov (Hebrew: בית הכנסת משכן יעקב) is located in the coastal town of Zarzis Tunisia. It was built in around 1900 when the Jewish community of Zarzis numbered approximately 1000. An arson attack in 1982 by local Arabs following Sabra and Shatila massacre of Muslim Palestinians by Christians in Lebanon left the synagogue and Torah scrolls totally destroyed.
