In 1901 - 1906 the building of the Choral Synagogue was built in Minsk.

The initiator of the construction was the famous physician I. Lunets. Until 1921 the Choral Synagogue was the most important in Minsk. It was built in the Moorish style and resembled the synagogue of Budapest. The building consisted of two parts: a large-scale portal at the entrance and a ritual hall. The entrance to the synagogue was in the form of an arch, above it there was a round window called Aaron's eye. The room was very picturesque and colorful.

The purpose of the association was to support the poor. In 1932 it was headed by the wife of H. Springer.

To take care of religious duties of the community was employed a teacher who also served as a prayer leader and shochet (one of the teachers was Emanuel Loew). The last Jewish teacher of the community was from 1918 to 1938 David Martin.

In 1740 there were meanwhile eight Jewish families living in the village. Together with the four Jewish families living in Gabsheim, you managed to get permission from the local government to establish a "Judenschule". In this building, which became Jewish community center after the construction of the synagogue in 1836, there were probably a prayer room and the schoolroom for teaching the children (possibly the rooms were identical). 
  

To take care of religious duties of the community, a teacher was employed from time to time, who also acted as a prayer leader and shochet. The children were taught Hebrew and religion. In the 19th century they were integrated into the general school system.

In 1926 Sigmund Krautkopf was the head of the association.

The largest wine and grain store in the area was the company S. Herzog & Co. The owner from 1925 was Henry Herz, who held the business until his emigration in 1937. Herz was also on the board of the local gymnastics club from 1918.

In Heppenheim an der Wiese Jews could settle probably since the beginning of the 18th century  1722 two Jewish families were in the place, 1743 one family.

The Jewish cemetery in Alsheim was established only in 1896. Previously (since 1840) the dead of the community were buried in Osthofen . Jewish people who died in Mettenheim and Gimbsheim also found their final resting place in the Alsheim cemetery. The cemetery area covers 6.38 ar.

The religious school was called Israelitische Volksschule from 1873. In 1881, it had 18 pupils, including two Christian children.
