Obj. ID: 21977 Great Wooden Synagogue in Kopyl, Belarus
© , Photographer: Unknown,
According to the memoirs of a Hebrew writer Avraam Paperna (1840-1919), the Great Synagogue was "an old, lofty building, built in an ancient style; its walls and vaults were painted with fantastic, symbolic figures and covered with verses from the Holy Scriptures" (A.I. Paperna, “Iz nikolaevskoi epokhi,” in Evrei v Rossii: XIX vek, ed. Victor Kel’ner (Moscow: NLO, 2000), 34-35).
The synagogue burnt down in 1865 (Ha-tsfirah, 24.9.1891, p. 837).
No images or drawings of the synagogue are known.
