Mourners of Zion (Karaite Movement)

The Mourners of Zion (Hebrew: אֲבֵלֵי צִיּוֹן) were a group of Karaite Jews who resettled in Jerusalem beginning in the late ninth century, most departing from modern day Iraq and Iran. There, they established a congregation known as the "Community of Lilies" (ha-Shoshanim) in the "sela' ha-elef" quarter of the city, located either on the eastern slope of the Ophel or within the city walls of the City of David.
