Great Synagogue, Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The Great Synagogue is a red-brick, two-storey synagogue at 45-47 Kote Afkhazi Street in Tbilisi, built between 1904 and 1911. Its Neo-Moorish and Neo-Romanesque exterior encloses a rectangular prayer hall oriented toward Jerusalem, with the ark on the wall opposite the entrance and a central bimah between two arches. A women's gallery runs around three sides of the upper hall, and a mikveh is on the premises.

Construction began in 1904 after Jewish residents from Akhaltsikhe demolished their previous prayer house, which had become unsafe. The synagogue was built as the community sought a new, solid place to practice their faith.

The synagogue serves as a gathering place where the Georgian Jewish community comes together for prayer and celebration of religious holidays. The space holds the customs and traditions that have shaped the life of Jewish families in this city over many generations.

The building is located on Kote Afkhazi Street near the city center and can be explored on foot. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship, so appropriate dress and respectful behavior are important.

The synagogue complex once included a Talmud Torah school on the second floor of the small prayer hall; that floor collapsed in the 1950s and was never rebuilt. The building also housed Rabbi Imanuell Davitashvili's residence until 1976.
