As a result of Russian missile attacks on Kharkiv during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Choral Synagogue suffered significant damage - the windows in the women's hall on the third floor were blown out by the shock wave.

Центральна синагога Харкова споруджена в 1913 році. Будівлю в стилі неоготики з елементами мавританського стилю збудували архітектори Яків Гевірц, Валентин Фельдман, Михайло Піскунов.

Висота купола становить 42 метри, площа - понад 2 тисячі квадратних метрів, місткість - до 1 тисячі осіб. Це одна з найбільших синагог в Україні.

З 1923 по 1990 рік синагога не діяла, в будівлі розміщувався клуб, кінотеатр, а після Другої світової війни - спортивне товариство "Спартак". Нині хоральна синагога належить хасидам.

Внаслідок російських ракетних обстрілів Харкова в ході повномасштабного російського вторгнення в Україну в 2022 році хоральна синагога зазнала значних пошкоджень - від ударної хвилі в жіночому залі на третьому поверсі вилетіли вікна.
