It is unknown when the original synagogue was built, but it is estimated to be before 1703.[2] The building also housed an academy for over one hundred years.[3] The synagogue was totally destroyed by fire in 1941 with only the marble Aron Kodesh remaining intact. The synagogue was subsequently rebuilt.[4][5] The synagogue serves Ashkenazi Jews[6] and is also known as the 'Tree of Life' synagogue.[7]
