eur.il (from mod.map) lists three sites in Jerusalem, each has
#L 31.46N 35.14E.  I hope that's accurate enough for all you shul
architects.  Please point the shul directy at Jerusalem and let the
congregants decide if they want to be rich or wise for themseleves.
I don't know the elevation and won't go to your shul if you tilt the
floors!  

Now we need the formula to compute the direction you should face given
your own lat/long.
