Yegiya-Kapai Synagogue

Egia-Kapai Synagogue (also Yegiya Kapay) was built in 1911, Yevpatoria, Crimea, Russia.
This is a functioning synagogue and at the same time a religious monument of history and culture. There is also a Jewish cultural and ethnographic center with handicraft production, and nearby is the Yoskin Kot cafe-museum. Perhaps the most interesting thing for tourists and believers here is the "wailing wall". Next to the wall, you can write a note with a wish and put it in the gap between the masonry, from where it will then be delivered to Jerusalem to the Wailing Wall. And in the souvenir shop at the synagogue you can buy a red thread from Jerusalem as a gift or a souvenir.
