Lonely Planet review

This 1930 Russian Romanesque masterpiece will be a real gem after restoration work is complete. Sadly, the synagogue was vandalized by arson in early 2002, when thousands of holy books were damaged. Restoration is ongoing, but you may be able to sneak a peek inside if the doors are unlocked. Orthodox Jewish services are held daily, while shared Friday night kosher meals attract everyone from long-time market stalwarts to travelers and students.
