In the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Region, the grand opening of the oldest Birobidzhan "Beit Tshuva" synagogue took place, whose major repairs were completed.
The revival of one of the centers of Judaism of the capital of the EAO was supported by the local entrepreneur. One of the centers of Judaism in Birobidzhan is the synagogue, located on Mayakovsky Street. It was opened in 1986, many Birobidzhans began to visit it, among which the representatives of the older generation prevailed. Over the past years, the building has not been completely repaired and has come to a critical state.

He congratulated fellow countrymen on the 80th anniversary of their beloved city, in which the last twenty years there has been a powerful religious upsurge and strengthening of cooperation between different diasporas.
