Synagogue of the Ashkenazi Jews in Baku, Jewish religious center in Baku, Azerbaijan

The Synagogue of the Ashkenazi Jews stands at 171 Dilara Aliyeva Street with architectural elements reflecting Jerusalem design principles.

The building transitioned from a civil defense depot to a synagogue in 1946, serving both Ashkenazi and Georgian Jewish communities in Azerbaijan.

The synagogue contains two dedicated prayer halls: a large space for Ashkenazi services and a smaller area for Georgian Jewish worship.

Rabbi Shneor Segal leads the congregation and manages the Or-Avner educational complex, providing resources for Jewish children and families.

The current synagogue building, opened in 2003, was constructed through voluntary donations from Azerbaijani Jews, replacing the original structure.
