Пушкинская 12, Xарьковсkaя хоральная синagogue

The Xar’kovskaya Choral Synagogue is a unique monument of Jewish synagogue architecture. Its architectural style incorporates elements of various European styles from different periods, including Moorish and Romanesque-Gothic influences, which set it apart from synagogues in Western Ukraine.
Built in the Modernist style, this synagogue was constructed in 1906. At that time, the dilapidated existing prayer hall had been closed down by the local authorities, forcing the congregation to pray in private locations. In 1909, the management of the First Jewish Prayer Hall entrusted the Imperial Saint Petersburg Architectural Society with organizing a competition to design new plans for the synagogue. J.G. Gevirtz won the competition.

Previously, on this site stood the mansion of the Zarudny family, built in the early 19th century according to the designs of architect P.A. Yaroslavsky. In the 1860s and 1870s, the building was used as a men’s and then a women’s boarding school, and from 1906 until its demolition in 1910, it served as the First Jewish Prayer Hall. According to records, the synagogue had approximately 800 members in 1887, and during trade fairs, up to 3,000 additional Jews would arrive in the city for business activities. The old synagogue was demolished in 1910, and construction of the new one began immediately thereafter.

The foundation stone of the new synagogue was laid on May 10, 1910. The new building was completed in 1913 and soon became a prominent landmark in Xar’kov.

The synagogue was used for its original purpose for around 10 years before being nationalized by the Soviet authorities in 1923 and converted into a Jewish workers’ club. The club operated within the building until 1941, and after the war, the remaining structure was converted into a sports hall. During renovations, the synagogue’s original interior design was destroyed, and the space was divided into two levels using concrete barriers. In 1990, the synagogue was returned to the religious community and restored.

According to some locals, during the post-war years, a boxing ring was also installed in the basement of the building.
