A lavish ceremony Tuesday will inaugurate the refurbished Geulas Yisroel Chabad synagogue in the center of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
It will add the name Bais Moshe after the late Moshe Mirilashvilli, founder and president of the World Congress of Georgian Jews.
Mirilashvilli’s son Gavriel donated the renovation after hearing from Chabad Rabbi Yosef Gerlitzky about his father’s steady involvement in the shul.
Gavriel Mirilashvilli, who was saying Kaddish at the time, offered to dedicate the Aron Kodesh in memory of his father but he decided to donate the whole rededication.
A small hall in the shul was renovated 10 years ago by Mordechai Dovid Boymelgreen and his wife Chana.
At the event on Tuesday, no less than 18 new Torah scrolls will be added to the Aron Kodesh, some donated by businessman Alexander Mashkevich, President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC).
Other guests expected are Israel’s two Chief Rabbis Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amar, Bnei Brak Rabbi Moshe Landa and philanthropist Levi Leviev.
Thank you!

Where in Tel Aviv is the shul?
So Beautiful- what a Kiddush Hashem
It should be a brocho
