Beis Aharon Synagogue Jerusalem
Karlin-Stolin (Hasidic dynasty) Karlin-Stolin is the name of a hasidic dynasty originating with Rebbe Aaron the Great of Karlin* in present-day Belarus.
Karlin Stolin Synagogue
Around 1870 the first Karlin-Stolin settled in Jerusalem and by 1874 had established their own synagogue in the Old City. It was named Beis Aharon (House of Aaron) after a work authored by Rabbi Aharon II Perlow of Karlin (1802-1872).
After it was destroyed during the 1948 Israel War of Independence, a new centre was established in Jerusalem�s Beis Yisrael neighbourhood.
