Lonely Planet review

This synagogue was built by the Russian Ashkenazi Jewish community in 1927 and lies in the heart of the 1940s Jewish ghetto. At the time of writing it was closed for restoration. The restoration is being done in conjunction with the Israeli Consulate, which should guarantee some authenticity. There'll be a small museum as well.
