General information about Beit Midrash (Abraham Heschel Synagogue) (Medzhybizh)

The only surviving synagogue in Medzhybizh is the Beit Midrash (house of learning) of Rabbi Abraham Yehoshua Heschel of Apta. It is called the Apta Synagogue or simply the Old Synagogue.

It was built in 1814, when Heschel settled in Medzhybizh. The synagogue had two floors. The rabbi himself lived in the neighboring house.

During the Soviet rule, the building was used for various purposes. In particular, there was a fire station in it.

Restoration was carried out in 2010. Today, a large Jewish library has been organized in the Old Synagogue.

Єдина синагога, що збереглася в Меджибожі, - це Бейт Мідраш (будинок вчення) рабина Авраама Йегошуа Гешеля з Апти. Її називають Синагогою Апта або просто Старою синагогою.

Побудована в 1814 році, коли Гешель оселився в Меджибожі. Синагога була двоповерховою. У сусідньому будинку мешкав сам рабин.

За радянської влади будівля використовувалася для різних цілей. Зокрема, в ній була пожежна частина.

В 2010 році проведено реставрацію. Нині у Старій синагозі організовано велику єврейську бібліотеку.
