History/Provenance
The synagogue was closed around 1930. During the Soviet regime, it functioned as a grain mill.
Around 2020, Alik Lekhtzer, the head of the local community, bought the building of the former synagogue and started repairs.
During the repair works in 2023-2024, murals were found on the walls. The murals are in bad condition. The images published by Vitalii Kamozin, the COO of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine (UJCU)on Jewish Heritage Europe (on Facebook and Jewish Heritage Europe) show several scenes, like the Sacrifice of Isaac, musical instruments hanging on trees as an illustration of Psalm 137, tablets of Ten Commandments.
