The Queen Street Synagogue, Oudtshoorn

Oudtshoorn is one of South Africa’s most interesting Jewish historic centers. So vibrant was the Jewish community that the town was named, 'Little Jerusalem'. The community grew up in a short space of time around the trading of ostrich feathers, as prices for the feathers soared and Jews flocked to the isolated little town in the Klein Karoo to join in the prosperity.
