green synagogue

The Synagogue was built in 1845 and it is considered to be the oldest wooden buildings in Rezekne. Before World War II in Rezekne there were 11 synagogues, only one has survived until today -The Rezekne Green Synagogue. Synagogue was open until the 1990s, then it was closed due to safety reasons (its emergency condition). The State Inspection for Heritage Protection of Latvia added it in the list of the most endangered sites in 2004. Rezekne City Council by the support of Norwegian Financial Instrument is carrying out reconstruction of the building. Within the framework of the project it will be possible to create the exhibition devoted to the history of Rezekne's Jews.

Нашли не сразу. Даже в Информационном центре девушки не сразу показали место на карте, где находится синагога. Хотя название улицы - говорящее: Израильская. От синагоги практически мало, что осталось. Разве что зеленый цвет. А так -- заброшенный дом с забитыми окнами и дверями, почти разваливается. Грустно. Даже фотографировать не захотелось.
