Estonian Jewish Center

Our Synagogue symbolises the living miracle of the Jewish people. Despite the hard times that the Jewish community in Estonia had to face, we are still living. During World War II, all Jews as well as all synagogues and prayer-houses in Estonia were destroyed. During the Soviet times, the religious life here was prohibited. And still now we built the new Tallinn Synagogue and the Jewish life therein is flourishing.

Tallinn Synagogue is the heart of Jewish life in Estonia, and we organize numerous events for people of different ages and coming from different social groups. We view the current objective of the Jewish Community in taking the Jews back to their historical roots and thereby strengthening the Jewish identity. This task may be fulfilled only with the help of old Jewish tradition – all Jews support one another.

The local members of the Community have no opportunity to fund the necessary events in full. With the help of the funds coming from individual sponsors and various Jewish organizations for whom charity is not meaningless, we have gained the opportunity to build Tallinn Synagogue and lay the foundations of the Jewish life in Estonia. However, there is still lots of work ahead, which requires new expenses. We offer you the chance to become active participants in this work.

Tallinn (formerly Revel) is the capital of the Baltic state of Estonia. One third of the state’s population lives in this seaport town, where 4 million tourists vacation each year.
