Ohr Somayach Synagogue, Cultural heritage synagogue on Yevreiska Street, Odesa, Ukraine

The synagogue features a high-ceilinged main prayer hall with lateral arched openings and detailed architectural elements from Florentine and Romanesque styles.

Architect P. Morandi constructed the Central Synagogue of Odesa in 1850, which later became the Odesa Pedagogical Institute's gymnasium during Soviet times.

The synagogue maintains a substantial library collection dedicated to Jewish literature and films, hosting regular educational seminars about Judaism and traditions.

The religious center provides daily prayer services, houses the Chief Rabbi's office, and operates both a weekly newspaper and television station.

In 1996, the first Jewish gathering after years of closure occurred during Rosh Hashanah, marking the return of the building to the Jewish community.
