The house from mezuzy

Among the historic buildings of Rakovskoye Suburb in Minsk lies a unique red-brick structure known as the “House with a Mezuzah”. This house is closely connected to Jewish traditions, as its name comes from the mezuzah — a scroll with the Shema prayer, traditionally affixed to the doorpost. In the past, it was home to respected rabbis and scholars, making it an important part of Minsk's Jewish cultural heritage.

Today, the House with a Mezuzah attracts tourists with its distinctive architectural appearance and rich history. Including this site in tours around Belarus provides an opportunity to learn more about the culture and traditions of the Jewish community, which played a significant role in the city’s history for centuries.

An excursion from Minsk that includes a visit to Rakovskoye Suburb will be an exciting journey into the past. You will see architectural landmarks, discover fascinating facts about the lives of city residents, and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of old Minsk. By booking a tour, you’ll uncover new chapters of the history of Belarus’s capital.
