Lonely Planet review for Lyubavicheskaya Synagogue

Converted to a theatre in the 1930s, this building was still used for gatherings by the Jewish community throughout the Soviet period. The rug on the altar hides a trapdoor leading to a small cell where Jews used to hide from the communists. Today the building serves as a working synagogue, as well as a social centre for the small but growing Jewish community in Moscow.
