The Golden Rose Synagogue (Ukrainian: Золота Роза, romanizedZolota Roza; Polish: Złota Róża; Yiddish: די גאָלדען רויז, romanizedDi Golden Royz), known also as the Nachmanowicz Synagogue, or the Turei Zahav Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת טורי זהב) was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located in Lviv, in what is now the Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine. The Golden Rose Synagogue, established in 1582 in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, was the oldest synagogue in what is now Ukraine. From September 1603 until 1801, the Golden Rose served as the main communal synagogue while the Great City Synagogue expanded its facilities.[1] Both the Golden Rose and Great City synagogues were destroyed by Nazis during World War II.
