Ukraine, Lviv, Lviv Region
Cori Gilod is a functioning synagogue in Lviv, given back to Lviv Jewish community in 1989, and the representatives of the Carlist Hasidic direction, that came here to run the religious community, started calling the synagogue “Beys Aaron ve-Isroel” (“The House of Aaron and Israel”). In 1897 Moses Grifel erected a one-storey building in the area between the Mikhnovski and Hotynska Streets. In 1912 it was bought out by the “Cori Gilod” (“The Healing Balsam”) society. The premises were adjusted for the house of prayer. On getting the permission from the magistrate, in 1923—1925 the society erected a new synagogue under Albert Kornblüth’s project. Its interior still contains some synagogue paintings unique for Ukraine, the author of which is Maximilian Kugel. The building is rectangular under the design, consists of the prayer hall 14.2 × 14 m and auxiliary premises. Two-layer galleries have been arranged in the interior.
