The Ashkenazi Synagogue (also called the Little Synagogue or the Beit Rachel Synagogue) is a synagogue located on Kozhevenny Lane (Kote Afkhazi 28), Tbilisi, Georgia.

History

Шаблон:Further information The synagogue was built in the early 1900s[1] or 1910s[2] for the city's Ashkenazi Jewish population. Attendance rates declined after the establishment of Bolshevik rule in Georgia and the suppression of religion that accompanied it. The building was destroyed during the 1991 Racha earthquake. The Ashkenazi Synagogue was rebuilt in 2009 by the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress headed by Alexander Mashkevitch.[1][3]
