History
The synagogue in Helsinki was built in 1906 according to the project of the architect from Vyborg, Johan Jacob Arenberg .
The brick building with a four-pillar drum and a dome is currently listed in Finland’s cultural and historical heritage.
After the terrorist attack in Paris on the newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the kosher food supermarket in January 2015, security measures at the Helsinki synagogue were strengthened. In February, the Finnish government additionally allocated 100 thousand euros to the Jewish community of Helsinki. As the head of the Jewish community of Helsinki, Yaron Nadbornik, said Jews should not give in to fear, although they should be prepared for threats from extremists [4] .
