History
Also known as the "Second Moscow Synagogue" (after the Moscow Choral Synagogue), the synagogue building was completed in 1996, and replaced the one destroyed by fire in 1993. Since 2000 it's also a Chabad-Lubavitch Community Center.
The synagogue is part of a large Jewish spiritual center under the auspices of the Moscow Jewish Public Center (Russian: МЕОЦ), which also incorporated nearby former Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage and Beyt Schwidler school.
