History
The synagogue was built at the end of the 18th century as a replica of the synonym in scale 1: 3.
In the second half of the 19th century , a Jewish school ( yeshiva ) was built near the synagogue in a single architectural style.
The synagogue operated until 1940, then it was closed by the Soviet authorities. During the German occupation during World War II, almost all Jews in Ruzhany were killed by the Nazis .
After the war, the yeshiva building consistently housed warehouses, a mill, a boiler room and a garage [2] . The building of the synagogue itself is abandoned and is gradually being destroyed.
