Jewish Heritage Tour in Russia enables a tourist to get acquainted with the Jewish life in Moscow. The Jewish Heritage Tour in Russia primarily involves a visit to the synagogues and Jewish cultural centers.
At memorial hill or Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow a new Synagogue has been built. This Synagogue overlooks the Kremlin and is part of a large memorial complex commemorating the victims of Nazism.
One of the most important synagogues in Moscow is Poliakov Synagogue of Chabad Lubavich. It was constructed in 1880 by the famous railroad baron Poliakov. The synagogue was forcibly closed in 1937 when Stalin's terror had reached its height. It was converted into a theatre and cultural centre.
In 1991, the city of Moscow returned the synagogue to the Jewish community. Today it is an important place of worship for the Jews. Because of its tumultuous past it is an important place for tourists in general and Jews in particular.
The Great Choral Synagogue has remained the nerve center of the Jewish life in Moscow. This serves as the main place of Jewish events and celebrations despite the presence of many Jewish cultural, charities, educational and other organizations. That is why it is very important with Jews.
The Marina Roscha Synagogue is one of the most famous Jewish landmarks in Moscow.
Shalom is a famous Jewish theater.
The tour also helps tourists to meet with members of the Kiev Jewish Community and visit the 16th century castle in Mir. Babi Yar Memorial and the Chagall House Museum.
