Jaffa - Looking for the Old Synagogue

While we were in Jaffa, we went looking for the old historic Libyan Synagogue. Beth had her smart phone and there was also several tourist kiosks with the synagogue shown. We also asked several people where it was (some of whom gave us incorrect directions, some of whom had never heard of it).

However, we never found it. On the other hand while looking for the synagogue, I took an image of a monument to a whale (in Jaffa). 

In the second image (in the Jaffa park above the port) is the remains of various archeological finds. The small bricks in the upper center are from the late bronze age, about 3200 years ago. The larger stone on the ground were from the Ottoman era about 500 years ago.
