General information about Great Synagogue (Horodenka)

The Great Synagogue in Horodenka was built in 1743, when the Jews who settled here from the middle of the 17th century received the right to engage in crafts and trade, as well as land for building a temple.

In the 1760s, a group of supporters of Hasidism emerged in Horodenka. One of them was Nachman from Horodenka, the closest disciple of the founder of the Yisrael Baal-Shem-Tov movement.

The synagogue was reconstructed in 1885.

During the Second World War, more than 2,500 Jews were shot in Horodenka. In Soviet times, the synagogue was rebuilt.

Велика синагога у Городенці споруджена в 1743 році, коли євреї, що селилися тут із середини XVII сторіччя, отримали право займатися ремеслами і торгівлею, а також землю для будівництва храму.

У 1760-х роках у Городенці виникла група прихильників хасидизму. Одним із них був Нахман із Городенки, найближчий учень засновника руху Ізраеля Баал-Шем-Това.

Синагогу було реконструйовано в 1885 році.

Під час Другої світової війни у Городенці було розстріляно понад 2,5 тисячі євреїв. За радянських часів синагога була перебудована.
