Tallinn Synagogue: A Revived Community Space

The Tallinn Synagogue stands as a testament to the resilience of the Jewish community in Estonia. Inaugurated on May 16, 2007, it marked the re-establishment of Jewish worship in Estonia following decades of absence.

This privately funded, ultramodern synagogue features a capacity of 180 seats, expanding to 230 for public events. Its architecture emphasizes light and openness, reflecting the cultural renaissance of the Estonian Jewish community. The synagogue's significance is magnified by its historical context; it is the first synagogue to open since WWII, filling a void left by the destruction of the previous synagogue in 1944.
