Dushanbe Synagogue, Jewish place of worship in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

Dushanbe Synagogue is a house of worship in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, featuring traditional Jewish architectural design with a large prayer hall for services. The interior is divided into sections for men and women and includes spaces dedicated to religious ceremonies.

This building was constructed in 2009 and replaced an original structure from the 19th century that was demolished in 2008. The earlier structure made way for a presidential building.

This house of worship serves as a gathering place for Tajikistan's small Jewish community and maintains religious traditions in a predominantly Muslim country. Services and community events held here keep the group's cultural identity alive.

The building sits in a residential neighborhood and opens mainly on Friday evenings before Sabbath services. Visitors should arrange visits ahead of time since regular activities are limited throughout the week.

The congregation currently has around 57 elderly members, which makes it difficult to gather the minimum of ten people needed for traditional services. This challenge reflects the broader story of Jewish migration in Central Asia.
