Synagogue Khabad, Kherson

Synagogue Khabad is a Jewish house of worship located on Teatralna Street in Kherson, built with traditional architectural details that reflect its religious purpose. The structure provides space for communal prayer and religious gatherings for the local Jewish community.

Built in 1895 to replace an earlier structure from 1855, this synagogue served the expanding Jewish community of Kherson. The building suffered significant damage during World War II but was restored in 1947.

This synagogue serves as a gathering place where the Jewish community maintains traditions and shares meals during religious occasions. The space reflects how people here practice their faith together as part of daily life.

Religious services take place mainly during Shabbat and major Jewish holidays, which determines the best times for a meaningful visit. It helps to check ahead about service times to plan your visit accordingly.

From 1952 to 1980, the building served as a dormitory for workers at the Petrovski factory, a surprising use far from its religious purpose. It later returned to function as a house of worship.
