''' Pohrebyshche Synagogue''' - a former wooden [[synagogue]] building, located in [[Pohrebyshche]], a town in [[Vinnytsia Oblast]], [[Ukraine]], was built in the 17th century.<ref> Maria and Kazimierz Piechotka: ''Heaven’s Gates. Wooden synagogues in the territories of the former Rzeczpospolita of Poland and Lithuania.'' Page 451 ff. Polish Institute of World Art Studies & POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Warschau 2015, . Complete information about the synagogue.</ref> It was destroyed in the 20th century.
== History ==
A wooden synagogue stood in Pohrebyshche in the first half of the 17th century, already in 1648 described as ''ancient''. In the course of the [[Khmelnytsky Uprising ]] (1648–1657) and the wars of the 17th century the town was destroyed by fire several times. Possibly in 1690 the synagogue was rebuilt.
Major restorations took place in 1790, and in 1892 the exterior was rebuilt while the interior was retained.
The building was converted into a workers club in 1928<ref>http://bit.ly/2G6roZT Workers club. Retrieved January 29, 2019</ref> and destroyed during World War II.
== Architecture ==
The main hall was approximately square (12,00m × 12,40m) with a central part (8m) and two lateral parts, which were narrower (width 1,80m) and lower. The main hall was built up on three sides: vestibule with upper-level women's prayer area on the west side and low, single-storey women's prayer areas against north and south walls. At the western corners there were two-storey corner pavillons. The room on the southern side was heated and served as a meeting room for the community elders.
The walls were of horicontal timbers, in the main hall they were reinforced by stiffeners.
The roof above the main hall was offset, two-tiered, with lower tier hipped and upper tier half-gabled. The corner-pavillons together with the galleries surrounding them were covered by hipped roofs.
The walls were originally polychromed; on the east wall remained traces of the former coloured wall paintings, presenting various birds, plants and domesticated animals.
The [[Torah Ark|Holy Ark]], width 1,70m, height 4,50m, was placed on a ''table of drawers''. In three tiers it was ornamented by winding flora with symemetrically positioned birds and animals.
The [[Bema#Judaism|Bimah]] stood on an octogonal podium and was surrounded by a balustrade with banisters.
