New Accessibility

Do you want to pray at Meoras Hamachpelah but have accessibility issues? A new elevator has been erected on the outside of the historic building on the Jewish side. It is no longer necessary to climb the 89 steps to the prayer area. Please have us all in mind when you pray there!
