The Grozny synagogue (Russian: Ашкеназская синагога; Hebrew: בית כנסת גרוזני) was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and Ashkenazi Jews synagogue, located at 2 Tereshkova street, in the city of Grozny in the Chechen Republic, in the North Caucasus of Russia.
History
In the mid-19th century, a settlement of Mountain Jews, probably migrated from Dagestan, appeared in Grozny on the right bank of the Sunzha River. By 1866, 453 men and 475 women of Jewish origin lived there. In 1875, a prayer house was built in the settlement, almost on the riverbank. In 1900, a flood destroyed the prayer house. That same year, construction of a synagogue began on the same site, which was completed two years later, in 1902. It was replaced by a large domed synagogue, built of brick, located between the Persian mosque and the Mitnikov bathhouse. As of 1883, there were 2 synagogues in Grozny.
In the early 1930s, during the period of religious persecution, the Soviet government closed the synagogue. Then, the building was rebuilt, adding a second floor. In 1937, a music school was opened in this building. The dome of the building was subsequently demolished. In the 1970s - 1990s, a music college was in the synagogue. The building was destroyed during the First Chechen War.
