The Bima discovered dates from the 18th century. and was given to the synagogues of the famous Jewish patron, who was known as Yesod. The two-level Baroque Bimu complex has been decorated with four Tuscan-style pillars and eight cornices. Portions of these pillars were also found during the search. The remains of the Vilnius Great Synagogue, Bima, are of historical significance to members of the Jewish religious community in Vilnius.
The synagogue's large synagogue baths and the men's colorful (micro) baths (ritual baths) and the corner of the synagogue have been open for some time. These are only the first search results. They testify to the enormous potential for further archaeological research – it is likely that more and more unique fragments of the Great Synagogue of Vilnius have survived.
"Today, we can enjoy a great radical equivalent of the Greek Acropolis. I would like to thank the Mayor of the capital for his good will in the future to commemorate the synagogue, which would give a lot of honor to Vilnius and to Lithuania as a whole. The Goodwill Foundation and the Lithuanian Jewish community will do their utmost to ensure that this synagogue is preserved and exposed to people in order to raise awareness of Lithuanian Jewish culture, "said Faïna Kukliansky, president of the Jewish community in Lithuania.
