Synagogue History
Established 1892
Tolerance
During the years the synagogue in Plovdiv was the most important pillar of Jewishness in the city and a trademark for Plovdiv’s tolerance and respect to all religions. Zion synagogue hosted David Ben Gurion and Chaim Weizman in 1947.
Renovation
The revival of the Plovdiv synagogue began in 1996 by a number of Plovdiv youths inspired by their roots and history. The synagogue was fully renovated in 2003 with funds raised by the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad and the Hanadiv Charitable Foundation.
