Great Choral Synagogue, Neo-Mudéjar synagogue in Podil district, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Great Choral Synagogue features a central dome, four minarets, and detailed tilework throughout its exterior and interior architectural elements.
Built in 1895, the synagogue was converted into an artisan club in 1926 and later used as a puppet theatre during the Soviet period.
The synagogue maintains Orthodox Jewish traditions through regular services, educational programs, and houses both a yeshiva and separate schools for boys and girls.
Located at Shchekavytska Street 29, the synagogue accommodates hundreds of worshippers and provides daily prayer services under Rabbi Yaakov Bleich's guidance.
During construction, architects submitted only side-view drawings that made the building appear as a private mansion to bypass restrictions on new synagogue buildings.
