Samara’s great synagogue was originally constructed in 1908 (5668), with seating for some 1,000 congregants. The three-story building, adorned with distinctively Jewish architectural elements, was a beacon of strength and growth for Samara’s Jewish community. When the Soviets came to power it was repurposed to a bakery. Now the synagogue is being reconstructed into a magnificent new Shul • Full Story, Photos
