Dushanbe Synagogue

The synagogue features traditional Jewish architectural elements with a large prayer hall, dedicated spaces for men and women, and facilities for religious ceremonies.

Built in 2009, this synagogue replaced the original 19th-century structure that was demolished in 2008 to make space for the Presidential Palace.

The synagogue serves the remaining Jewish population of Tajikistan, maintaining religious traditions in a predominantly Muslim nation with services and community gatherings.

Located in a residential area, the synagogue opens primarily on Fridays before Shabbat and requires advance coordination for visits due to limited regular activities.

With only 57 elderly members remaining in the local Jewish community, the synagogue faces challenges gathering the minimum ten people required for traditional services.
