With over 30 synagogues , Bobrujsk was an important center of Jewish culture, so it was ironically popularly called the capital of Israel (Stalitsa Yisrael). The majority of the Jewish population was murdered by the German occupiers during the Holocaust . The synagogue was devastated during this time. The synagogue building was converted into a residential building.
