Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox religious building
The Choral Synagogue of Vilnius (Шаблон:Lang-lt) is the only synagogue in Vilnius that is still in use. The other synagogues were destroyed partly during World War II, when Lithuania was occupied by Nazi Germany, and partly by the Soviet authorities after the war.
The Choral Synagogue of Vilnius was built in 1903.[1]
The synagogue is built in a Romanesque-Moorish style.[2]
It is the only active synagogue that survived both the Holocaust and Soviet rule in this city that once had over 100 synagogues.[1][3] During the occupation of Lithuania by the Soviet Union the synagogue was nationalised and turned into a metal factory.[4] Resulting from this usage the building suffered considerable damage. It was restored in 2010 and opened again as a synagogue shortly thereafter.[4] International donations and a small community of Jews in Vilnius support the synagogue. The synagogue holds services and is open to visitors.[2]
In 2019, the synagogue along with the Jewish community headquarters was temporarily closed due to threats from right-wing groups. The decision coincided with a rise in antisemitic rhetoric related to public debate about honoring Lithuanian collaborators.[5][6]
