All synagogues have been closed in Minsk, the capital of White Russia, according to a report received here today through a Polish news agency.
The order to close the synagogues was issued as a repressive measure, according to the report, following the recent street fight between the Orthodox Jews and Communists over the proprietorship of two confiscated synagogues.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
