Balat, a neighborhood in Istanbul, is renowned for its rich Jewish heritage. Once a thriving center of Sephardic Jewish life, its narrow streets still echo with the history of synagogues, schools, and businesses. While the Jewish population has diminished, the colorful houses and remaining synagogues, like the Ahrida Synagogue, are powerful reminders of a vibrant community and a significant part of Istanbul's cultural tapestry.
