Ben Ezer's Temple, lying at the end point of church buildings , is reported to have been erected
in the 6th or presumably the 9th Century AD. The temple site and the surrounding grounds,
originally a property of the church, was acquired by the Jews in return for "kantars of gold". The basilica-style temple contains a Jewish heritage library, that was inaugurated on November 25,1997.
