Work began on the synagogue Beth Yaakov in the Calle Balmes in 1964, which also houses the Community Center. It was opened in 1968. The prayer hall is decorated with copies of the Hebrew inscriptions in the Tránsito Synagogue in Toledo. Madrid has a long and sometimes tragic Jewish history, marred by the Spanish Inquisition and expulsion. It is an integral piece of the history of Sephardic Jews, who were expelled from the country in the 15th century. There is an active Jewish community and Chabad House and much to see and do in the city. From the tenth century onward there was a small Jewish community in Muslim-ruled Madrid. This grew considerably after the reconquest. In 1492 the Jews of Madrid left for Fès (Morocco) and Tlemcen (Algeria). The city’s six Jewish doctors went with them, leaving it without medical assistance. However, they resumed their position in 1493 after converting to Christianity.The Jews came back to Madrid only in the 1850s, sporadically and in an unorganized way. These were shopkeepers and bankers who, among other activities, were involved in the creation of the railroads. The best known of these families were the Bauers, who represented the Rothschild Bank. Thanks to research by Madrid historians, it is possible to locate the city’s two Jewish quarters with considerable precision, although sadly few tangible traces remain. They formed around the Plaza Isabella (Calle Independencia and Vergara) and the Almudena cathedral, near the old Alcázar in the Cuesta de la Vega.
