The Great Maharsha Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת המהרש״א; Ukrainian: Велика синагога, romanized: Velyka synahoha) is a former Jewish synagogue, located in Ostroh, in the Rivne Oblast of Ukraine.
With a congregation established in 1550s, the synagogue was completed in the 1620s in what was, at the thime, the Habsburg monarchy, with the building named in honour of Rabbi Shmuel Eidels. Abandoned in the 1940s, the synagogue was partially destroyed by the Nazis during World War II, and subsequently used by Soviet authorities as a warehouse. Again abandoned, the building fell into disrepair. Restoration efforts commenced in 2016 to preserve the former synagogue as a Jewish history museum.[2]
