Situated next to the synagogue, Sir Moses Montefiore's wife, Judith, who died aged 78 in 1862, was buried here. Sir Moses had the mausoleum built over the grave. It is based on a structure on the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, said to be Rachel's tomb. He was buried alongside his wife when he died, aged 100, in 1885.
