Golden Rose Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in central Dnipro, Ukraine

The Golden Rose Synagogue stands on Sholom Aleichem Street in Dnipro, its facade restored to match photographs from the early 20th century. Frank Meisler designed the foyer, the prayer hall and the Holy Ark, and a small rotunda between lobby and sanctuary carries the first line of the Sh'ma Israel, in Hebrew on one side and Russian on the other, the two versions meeting on the far wall. The main hall seats 450.

A wooden prayer house stood on the site around 1800 and burned down in 1833. The stone synagogue was begun in 1837 with permission from Governor-General Vorontsov and completed in 1852, a date long displayed on its facade. Closed in 1929, the building later served as a workers' club and warehouse, was returned to the Jewish community in 1996, and reopened in 2000 after reconstruction.

The name references golden roses created by Israeli artist Frank Meisler that greet visitors at the sanctuary entrance. The doors display representations of the Ten Commandments, shaping the visual character of the threshold.

The building is located on Sholom-Aleikhema Street 4 and operates as an active religious center with regular prayer services. Visitors should keep in mind this is a living place of gathering for the local community where respectful behavior is expected.

The adjacent Menorah center, opened in 2012, houses a museum called Tkumah and a library alongside various community facilities. These modern additions complement the historic synagogue and provide different programs for visitors and residents.
