History
The Aesopian synagogue was built in 1909 in a Moorish Revival style. The façade is Romanesque Revival, with Byzantine Revival elements. The building was devastated during the World War II by Nazis. For the next fifty years it was used as a workers' canteen of the "Transsignal" electrotechnical plant.
From 2002 to 2004, the building was restored[2] and, since February 2022[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., it was reported as being active.[3] Since the synagogue's restoration, the Jewish Agency established Midrasha Tzionit, a learning center located at the synagogue. The Zionist learning center has afternoon and evening courses on key aspects of Jewish history, tradition, and ideology, including Hebrew and Tanakh classes.[4][5]
