Gilaki Synagogue
The Gilaki Synagogue is the synagogue in which
today the residents of Red Settlement pray and which has never been closed. It
was built by natives of the Persian province of Gilan.
The architect of this temple is Hillel Ben Haim and his name is inscribed on the brick facade. The temple was constructed in 1896, according to the inscription on the foundation stone. The synagogue has 12 windows, one for each of Israel’s tribes. The bimah, situated under the wooden dome, is a two-tiered octahedral platform with stairs that houses a massive pulpit for reading the Torah scroll.
In 2000 during the renovation
of one of the walls of the synagogue a hiding place was discovered in which
about 50 cases for Torah scrolls were kept. It is likely that this hiding place
(a kind of genizah) contained the Torahs from all the synagogues in Red
Settlement that were confiscated by the Soviet government in the 1930s.
Six Dome Synagogue – “Alti Gumbaz”
Alti Gumbaz Synagogue in the Red Village (Isaak Khanukov str., 9) was built in 1888 by architect Hillel ben Haim, who contributed greatly to the development of the architectural landscape of the town.
The six domes of this hexagonal-shaped synagogue are an homage to the emigrants from Qulqat who moved to the modern-day Qirmizi Qasaba six days after the invitation of Huseynali Khan of Quba. During the Soviet years, the building was used as a warehouse, then a sewing workshop. In 1991, the building was again allowed to be used as a synagogue, and in 1995, it was thoroughly restored. Daily morning and evening prayers, as well as special prayers and rituals on holidays and, are held in the synagogue. The oriental-style synagogue is mainly used in the summertime.
