Mizrachi Synagogue in Będzin, Jewish museum in Będzin, Poland.

The Mizrachi Synagogue features preserved wall paintings depicting the Twelve Tribes of Israel and Absalom's Tomb within its underground prayer chambers.

The synagogue, built in the 19th century by merchant Jakub Chil Winer, remained undamaged during World War II when most Jewish structures were destroyed.

The interior decorations include polychrome paintings with Zionist themes and Yiddish inscriptions, reflecting the Jewish community's artistic and religious expression.

The synagogue underwent extensive renovation between 2007 and 2012, with costs exceeding 120,000 zloty to protect the structure from moisture damage.

The prayer hall's original paintings were created by local Będzin artist Altek Winer, incorporating both religious and cultural symbols into the design.
