The “Ohel Yaakov” Synagogue is the main synagouge in Zichron Yaakov and was built in 1886 by the Baron Rotchild in memory of his father James Yaakov Rotchild. The main synagogue in Zichron is the most unique synagogue in the entire area at the time and was preffered by all the different settlement Rotchild founded. At the synagougue Rothcild used to speak to the people of Zichron Yaakov. The synagogue was built during the Ottoman regime in Israel, the Ottomans had a law about destroying housing: It is not permitted to destroy a building if the roof is built.
The jewish settlement took advantage of this law and in the middle of the night crept out and built the synagogue. Every time the officers came over and asked what they were building the responded that they are building a stable. At the end, over one night they built the roof and opened the synagogue to the Ottoman's astonishment that instead of a stable the built a marvelous synagogue.

I am exploring the possibility of my daughters batmitzvah over the summer next year in Zichron Yaakov.

Please can you let me know if this is possible and help with the arrangements with the Rabbi.
Kind regards
