The Russian Convent, also known as the “Gorny Convent,” is a Russian Orthodox monastery located on the southern side of Ein Kerem, a neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel. The convent was founded in the late 19th century by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, a member of the Russian royal family, and her husband, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich.
The convent complex includes a church, a bell tower, a guesthouse, and other buildings. The church is dedicated to the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, and it features beautiful icons and frescoes that were painted by Russian artists.
The convent’s history is closely linked to the turbulent events of the early 20th century. Grand Duchess Elizabeth was murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918, and many of the other nuns and monks at the convent were also martyred during the Russian Revolution and its aftermath.
Today, the Russian Convent is an important site for Orthodox Christian pilgrims, who come to pray and reflect in the peaceful surroundings. Visitors can attend services at the church and explore the grounds, which include a garden and a cemetery where many of the martyred nuns and monks are buried.
The Russian Convent is also known for its hospitality and welcomes visitors of all faiths to stay in its guesthouse and learn more about its rich history and traditions.
Location:
This aerial map shows the location of the convent, on the southern side of Ein Kerem. The entrance to the convent is through an inner road of the Hadassah hospital. To reach the convent, drive outside of Ein Kerem to Hadassah; enter the main gate of the hospital, then follow the signs to the convent on its eastern side.
Ottoman period
The Russian presence in the Holy Land was formed as the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem. It represented the Russian Orthodox Church in the Holy Land starting from 1847.
The convent was established by the Russians in 1871, serving as a convent for nuns. It was named by the locals as Moskkubia (Al Moskovoia), after the capital of Russia (Moscow).
It is named “the Gorny Convent”, based on the Russian word meaning “mountainous”.

I love you long videos
Beautiful place and beautiful church! 😇👰♀🚼🌹🕯
Even though they may be a bit long I set aside time to watch. I love them all and can’t wait til I can come to visit and hire you as a tour guide. Hopefully some day soon. ❤
Zahi! All of your videos are absolutely amazing. Whether they are long videos or short ones, they are all perfect. Thank you for sharing so many incredible things! I love and miss you, God bless you always! ❤
Thank you
Your videos are just right. If they were shorter, they would seem rushed. When tours take their time, instead of rushing from one thing to the next, they become not only enjoyable, but easier to understand. Thank you for your patient endurance.
Thank you
I think your videos are great and perfect the way they are. Most of us I think are watching your videos because you help us to feel connected to Israel and the Jews. Many of us will never get to visit Israel. Through your tours it helps people to see things we would otherwise not be able to. So, thank you! Some people have short attention spans, for those people, they can watch the first half of your video, take a break and come back and watch the second half. I think you can loose some of the beauty and wonder of it all, if you chop things up too much!
Thank you very much
❤
Zahi I love this video and I love the beautiful Russian church. The icons are breathtaking. I wish I could come and visit one day.
Also I love your long videos, the longer the better. I never get bored because they are all very informative. Thank you for all that you do, Zahi. God bless you, your family and Israel.
No need to Edit this video, because longer one looks at this video more he will be blessed.
Shalom zahi, greetings from England
🙏🙏🙏🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
What a very beautiful church. They have such a large collection of amazing icons. I would love to visit there.
🙏🌍🙏
Thank you zahi for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your welcome
The wood carving on the last icon you show is amazing, also the iconostasis. I am captivated by every minute of your videos, they are never too long. Please don't show us less or shorten your narrated tours. We love them just the way they are! If they wish, the impatient can watch in two parts or speed up video in settings... so they can control the time they spend.
Thank you
