At Domodedovo Airport, on the second floor of the common area of ​​the passenger terminal, after a short break, the Beit Chabad synagogue resumed its work. The prayer room is equipped with everything necessary for holding worship services - religious literature, religious objects, special furniture and seats for services, there is also a Torah Scroll in the room, and a rabbi works in the synagogue itself: “I will be glad to see everyone in Beit Chabad Domodedovo. Here you can pray, drink tea or coffee. You can also fulfill the Tefillin commandment, give Tsedok, receive Shabbat candles, and in general, have a little chat with me and relax before the upcoming flight.”

Schedule:
Sunday - Thursday from 11:00 to 16:00.
Prayer rooms for representatives of different faiths exist at many international airports around the world, and we are pleased that in Russia, at Domodedovo Airport, where many flights take place daily, the first synagogue has opened. According to the law of Judaism, it is necessary to perform everyday prayer three times a day at a certain time. Previously, Jewish passengers had to hold services in lobbies and waiting rooms, which, of course, was not very convenient. In addition, the work of the prayer room will allow you to spend your time waiting for a flight with greater benefit - for example, take a Torah lesson with a rabbi or just read a prayer before departure.
