| Sign on the building of the synagogue | |
In 1865, a Torah scroll was purchased, and a temporary “prayer school” opened in a rented house on Zateevsky Lane , which became the third synagogue in Tomsk after Choral and Kaminerskaya . In 1872, a new wooden building was built on a manor place bought at the expense of the cantonists on Nechaevskaya Street (now Frunze Avenue , 15). In the southern part of the basement of the building was equipped with a room for baking unleavened bread ( matzo ).
In 1906, a fire broke out in the house of a neighboring merchant, and the synagogue building was badly damaged. The soldiers themselves restored and rebuilt it with their own money. The public construction management was led by retired captain G. Ya. Tsam, the commission included the architect T. L. Fishel . The project for the construction of the school "in the Moorish style" was carried out by the "acting man" of the provincial architect A. I. Langer . In 1907, the synagogue reopened. [one]
With the establishment of Soviet power, in the 1920s, the building of the synagogue was transferred to a street school. Three domes on the roof of the building were demolished. In the 1930s, the building was taken from the Jewish community and converted into a dormitory for employees of Tomsk State University , which lasted until the 1990s. Then ordinary Tomsk citizens lived in it.
In early 2018, the city administration decided to transfer the building of the soldier’s synagogue, which is an architectural monument, to the Tomsk Jewish community. The agreement between the mayor of Tomsk I.G. Klein and the chief rabbi of Russia B. Lazar was signed on February 1. [2]
