Borisov. The Hevre Tilim Synagogue.

In the historical center of the city of Borisov, a former shopping area with civil buildings and religious buildings has been preserved. There is an Orthodox Resurrection Cathedral, which was built in the pseudo-Russian style of the 19th century, nearby is the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the classical style and there are 2 synagogues nearby.

 A hundred years ago, half of the population of Borisov were Jews, who were mainly engaged in trade and handicrafts. There were several dozen synagogues and houses of worship in the city. Next to the shopping area, the stone building of the former Hevre Tylim synagogue has been preserved to our time. This synagogue was built on the site where a Jewish school had been since the 17th century. And the Talmud Torah was also opened at the new synagogue. Among the Jews, the Talmud Torah is called an educational institution for boys who were being prepared for admission to the yeshiva.

The synagogue was built in 1911. The building is made of stone. Four-sided in plan. The building had two parts: a prayer hall for men and a prayer hall for women. The brick decor at the corners of the building, along the cornice and the framing of the windows on the main facade have been preserved to our time. On the facade between the windows, the so-called "aron Kadesh" is marked with two semicolons, where a Torah scroll was kept in the interior of the synagogue. Kadesh is translated from Hebrew as "holy" or "sacred".

In 1994, an educational organization installed a commemorative plaque on the building of the former synagogue.
