Eine Synagoge für Tallinn

Was es die letzten Jahrzehnte gar nicht gab, wird jetzt gebaut. Die einzige Synagoge für die jüdische Gemeinde in Estland. Und weil der ganze Vorgang so einmalig ist, weist die Architektur gleich in die Zukunft. Einen ersten Eindruck liefert die Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS, hier.

A major part of the construction of the new Synagogue and JCC is being made possible by Mr. Alexander Bronstein of Moscow , who is dedicating the Synagogue in loving memory of his mother Baila, who passed away this year and is buried in Tallinn. Mr. Bronstein’s father, Michael, is a well known Economics Professor in Tallinn and an active member of the local Jewish community.

An additional major capital grant was made by the Rohr Family Foundation of Miami, Florida and New York, headed by Messrs. Sami and George Rohr. The Rohr Family Foundation is a major partner in the construction of Synagogues and Jewish Community Centers across the Former Soviet Union.
