KUBA, AZERBAIJAN

Nestled at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains about 2 1/2 hours drive from Baku, is a village consisting entirely of Jews, called Kuba. The community has managed over the years of communism to maintain many traditional customs, but since their Rabbis and community leaders were assassinated or deported by the Soviets, they have been without any guidance in Torah and Halocha.

Rav Adam Davidov directs the Vaad’s activities in Kuba together with his wife. Besides serving as the town’s Rov, R’ Adam gives shiurim in the morning and afternoon to the boys, while his wife gives classes to the girls after their regular school hours. The Yeshiva building was recently renovated and a modern computer classroom was added, as well as dormitory space for boys who live far from the yeshiva to sleep on Shabbos.

The Vaad’s Mikva is now undergoing renovation and additional space will become available for the girls school. The village’s isolated location from the large cosmopolitan cities and it’s only Jewish residents, makes Kuba a fertile ground for the Vaads activities with great potential given the proper resources.
