Built in the beginning of the 19th century, it is one of the very few synagogues in Ukraine that was neither destroyed during World War II nor closed by the Soviet author

ities in the years after the war. The synagogue is still used by the small Jewish community of Bershad that worships in the Ashkenazi rite. It is not to be confused with the magnificent Great Synagogue, which does no longer exist.
