The Great Maharsha Synagogue Repair

Ostroh Jewish Community desperately needs your help in saving this once great place of worship and a historic religious structure.

The goal of this page is to raise the much needed funds to repair the already severely damaged roof before it fully collapses possibly rendering the building unsalvageable.

This is not a full reconstruction project.  At this time we are focused on the immediate measure to build the necessary supporting structure to prevent the roof from collapsing.  This will permit additional time for the community to raise the funds needed to do complete all the necessary repairs and restore the entire synagogue to its previous glory.

Currently all work is being done by volunteers who value the Jewish-Ukrainian Heritage and support the Jewish religious values.

The Maharsha synagogue is in a sad state of a vulnerable ruin – but it nonetheless, remains a powerful place of Jewish history, memory, heritage and lore.   As a member of Ostroh Jewish Community I plea for your help to raise the funds needed to rebuild this once great place of worship and a historic religious structure for our community and our children. Let's act NOW before it's too late!
