Синагога горских евреев в Баку, Jewish synagogue in Nasimi district, Baku, Azerbaijan

The Mountain Jews Synagogue in Baku is a new building opened on 5 April 2011 at 72 Ali Mardan Topchubashev Street in the Nasimi district. Its architecture and size set it apart from other Jewish prayer houses in Azerbaijan and the wider region. It replaced an older prayer building that the community had used since 1945.

In 1945, after the Second World War, the Soviet authorities gave Baku's Mountain Jews one of the city's old buildings for worship; it was so dilapidated that worshippers suffered discomfort until Azerbaijan's independence, when repairs added a second floor. In 2010, amid the city's reconstruction, a new synagogue became necessary. It opened on 5 April 2011 at 72 Ali Mardan Topchubashev Street in the Nasimi district, with Israel's ambassador Michael Lavon-Lotem and US ambassador Matthew Bryza attending.

The synagogue serves as a gathering place where the Mountain Jewish community of Baku celebrates their traditions and maintains their religious identity. Visitors can observe how the space brings together families for ceremonies and shared moments throughout the year.

The synagogue stands at 72 Ali Mardan Topchubashev Street in the Nasimi district, not on Dilara Aliyeva Street. It is an active prayer house, so visits fit around service times; check the schedule in advance. The 2011 building replaced an older prayer house on the same community's site.
