A small but beautifully decorated one-story prayer house in the inner courtyard of His name, unfortunately, is not known. Churgin's Prayer House was taking up a small part of the sports site of the gymnasium of Sofia Gurevich, and constantly faced the problem of broken and rattled windows.

In the autumn of 1939, the Grodno yeshiva, a spiritual seminary of Judaism who had left the occupied territory of current Belarus, settled in Churgin's kloyz. In 1942, the kloyz got ravaged. Today, the headquarters of the Afghan War Veterans Union is located at the former cloister.
