Синагога Охель Леа

Синагога Охель Леа (Ohel Leah Synagogue, בית הכנסת אהל לאה, Beit Ha-Knesset Ohel Leah, 猶太教莉亞堂) — старейшая гонконгская синагога, расположенная в районе Мид-левелс, на пересечении Робинсон-роуд и Касл-роуд. Расположенные рядом с ней Еврейский общинный центр и Еврейский клуб отдыха вместе образовывали кластер еврейской религиозной и общинной жизни Гонконга (большинство евреев города до сих пор проживают в окрестностях синагоги). Первоначально синагога была создана багдадскими евреями, затем находилась под управлением конгрегации испанских и португальских евреев Лондона. Сегодня синагога Охель Леа полностью независима и объединяет под своей крышей всех евреев диаспоры (формально принадлежит к ортодоксальному модернизму, но её посещают сторонники и любавичского хасидизма, и реформистского иудаизма, и консервативного иудаизма). История Двухэтажная синагога Охель Леа была построена в 1901—1902 годах в стиле колониальной сефардской архитектуры по проекту гонконгской фирмы «Leigh & Orange» (ныне синагога оказалась зажата между высотными жилыми комплексами). Строительство велось на средства богатых сефардов-купцов Джейкоба, Эдварда и Мейера Сассун, прибывших в Гонконг из Индии (своё имя синагога получила в честь матери братьев — Леи Сассун). Много для развития синагоги сделал её почётный президент Мэтью Натан — единственный еврей на посту губернатора Гонконга (1904—1907), при котором здание претерпело первые изменения. В 1937 году территория синагоги была расширена, а деревянная крыша заменена из-за повреждений, нанесённых термитами. Во время японской оккупации (1941—1945) здание синагоги не пострадало, но Еврейский клуб отдыха, построенный по соседству в 1907 году, был полностью разрушен (в 1949 году клуб был отстроен, однако в 1994 году его снесли, чтобы освободить место для высотного строительства). В 1961 году в синагогу был назначен первый официальный раввин, в 1987 году она была причислена к историческим памятникам I категории (хотя велись разговоры о сносе здания). В 1998 году синагога подверглась масштабной реставрации стоимостью 6 млн ам. долларов, после чего вернула свой внешний вид и интерьеры к их исходному состоянию (реставрация получила премию ЮНЕСКО за сохранение культурного наследия в 2000 году).

Its Seminary College also provides courses in theology and philosophy for lay students. History The seminary descends from the "Regional Seminary for South China", which was transferred to the Diocese of Hong Kong in 1964 as China no longer sent seminarians at that point.

Hoi Ha

Hoi Ha (Chinese: 海下; Jyutping: hoi2 haa6) is a place and a village on the innermost shore of Hoi Ha Wan, Hong Kong. It is at the north of Pak Sha O in the Sai Kung Peninsula. One of the most famous heritage spots in Hoi Ha Wan is the remnants of the lime kilns. It was used to make lime from sea shells and coral. It was likely built in the early 1900s. Administration Hoi Ha is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy. Name The name Hoi Ha comes from the same Hakka language word which broadly translates as Seashore or Seaside in English. The name Hoi Ha ("海下") is not intuitive to non-Hakka speakers. While "Hoi" (海) means "sea" and "Ha" (下) as "below", it is not commonly used that way in Cantonese which might surprise people as Hoi Ha is a village in Sai Kung, Hong Kong where the dominant Chinese dialect in present day Hong Kong is Cantonese. History Hoi Ha village was established in 1811 by a group of Hakka people sharing the family name Yung who arrived at Hoi Ha and started to build houses and farm the land. Hoi Ha archaeological site A few coarse pottery sherds, prehistoric pottery sherds, stone implements and ceramic sherds of Tang, Ming and Qing periods were found in Hoi Ha in the two territory-wide survey. Hoi Ha lime kiln There are also the remnants of lime kilns. There are total 4 lime kilns in Hoi Ha but only 2 remain comparatively intact; these two kilns were restored by the Antiquities and Monuments Office in 1982 with the generous assistance of the villagers of Hoi Ha (source: Antiquities and Monuments Office) These two kilns, built by the villagers of Hoi Ha in the early 20th century, were used to make lime by burning corals and shells. They were constructed of rubble stone and lined with crude bricks inside. The villagers collected corals and shells from the sea nearby. Lime production was once a prosperous local industry particularly at the villages in Sai Kung. The lime was used in agriculture and construction. However, it was gradually replaced by cement after the Second War World The villagers use to send the lime by boat to nearby Hong Kong Island to sell The kilns are located on the eastern shore of inner Hoi Ha Wan. Limekiln industry was one of the oldest industries (1800-1939) in Hong Kong, which refined lime from either oyster shells or coral skeletons for construction and agricultural uses. In the processes, limestone, i.e. calcium carbonate, in the shells and corals would be transformed into calcium oxide by means of heating.
