Before reaching the Great Choral Synagogue, notice the long four-story building. In 1879, a four-grade Jewish Vocational School was founded here, though the doors of this large (for the time) educational institution opened to Jewish youths only in 1882. It had about three hundred students studying over 30 different specialties, without which social and daily life would be impossible. Here future medical workers, pharmacists, locksmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters, tanners, printers, and others mastered their professions. The only exception was the so-called “sacred Christian work”, i.e. the work of making ritual objects.In 1914, the Vocational School had to reduce its number of students and double up in classrooms: the private Dental School of two highly respected individuals, Dr. Lev Shapiro and dentist Abram Demikhovsky, moved into this building. In the first entrance of the building led to the Vocational School, and in the second, to the Dental School.Currently, the Goznak Minsk Printing Factory is located in this building.
