Khmelnytskyi

The Craftsmen Synagogue in Khmelnytskyi is the only surviving Jewish temple in the city.

A small synagogue was built in 1890 in the Jewish quarter of artisan bakers, opposite the current central food market.

In Soviet times, the building housed a gymnastics school. In the early 1990s, the Craftsmen Synagogue was returned to the Jewish community of Khmelnytskyi, and it is now in use.

On April 2, 2023, an incident took place in the Holy Intercession Cathedral with a priest of the Moscow Patriarchate beating a Ukrainian military officer, which caused a wave of indignation in the community, and on the same day a meeting of parishioners took place, which unanimously voted for the transfer of the religious community of the Intercession Cathedral to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
