The Jewish cemetery of Oguz

The Oguz Old Jewish Cemetery has not lasted to the present time day. The early twentieth-century shifts, the coup, and the repression of the clerics and religious servants, followed by the war, had to have repercussions on the cemetery's destruction. In addition, the Oguz Jewish cemetery is situated on a deciduous forest mountainside. The old graves were washed away by rains and floods, and tree roots ended up moving the tombstones, hiding them beneath the ruins. As result, the old graves are barely visible. Rahimov Karim, through his father's will, facilitated the dissection and construction of a new cemetery in 1930. The territory of the cemeteries now has trails and gazebos for visitors to rest.

Enjoy a day trip toJewish sites in Oguz

Oguz in north-west Azerbaijan was historically one of the main Jewish settlements in the country whose Jewish population peaked in 1930-1933 at 2,000-2,500 residents. A unique community formed here of Jews and Muslims living together harmoniously, sharing holidays and traditions. While many left following the fall of the USSR, still some members of this community remain, with several Jewish-style houses (featuring Jewish ornaments and often facing towards Jerusalem) and two synagogues and cemeteries offering a window into the town’s Jewish past. The synagogues are named simply the Upper and the Lower due to their location in the town. The Lower Synagogue was built in 1849 and was the first synagogue in Oghuz, while the Upper Synagogue was built in 1897 and, completely restored in 2006, is visited every Friday and Saturday by Oghuz’s remaining Jewish population for prayers.
