The Tbilisi Great Synagogue is located on Jerusalem Street in a red bricks lovely building, spectacular design. As soon as we entered the building, we have met with the community chairman that told us about the history of the place and the history of the Georgian Jews. The inner building consists of 2 floors, each with a separate synagogue. The place is amazing in its beauty, saves and wounderfully maintaned. Many Non-Jewish tourists also visit the place. In my opinion, a mandatory visit place for every Jews visiting Tblisi.
