Synagogue “Beit Rachel – Chabad Lubavitch” is one of the most significant and beautiful synagogues in Central Asia, located in Astana, Kazakhstan. It was built at the initiative of the Jewish community “Chabad Lubavitch” and opened in 2004. The name of the synagogue translates as “House of Rachel” and is dedicated to the memory of Rachel Schneerson, the wife of the Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe — Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the spiritual leader of the Chabad movement.

Architecturally, the building is designed in a modern style with elements of traditional Jewish architecture. The spacious prayer hall can accommodate hundreds of worshippers and is characterized by a solemn yet warm atmosphere. The interior design combines national motifs of Kazakhstan with Jewish religious symbols: at the center stands the Holy Ark (Aron HaKodesh) containing the Torah, while the stained glass and decorative details create a feeling of light and serenity.

The synagogue serves not only as a place of worship but also as a cultural and educational center. Regular religious services, holidays (Shabbat, Passover, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, and others), Torah lectures, Hebrew lessons, youth meetings, and charitable initiatives are held here. The synagogue also hosts a Jewish school, a children’s center, and a library.
