Lvov district. Restoration of the synagogue, constructed in 1692 and included into the catalogue of one hundred world monuments on the edge of disappearance, has started in the town Zholkva of Lvov region. According to the director of Zholkovsky center of city development Mikhail Kubay, funds for reconstruction of the unique monument were provided by the Fund for world monuments in New-York.

To fully restore the premises $1 million is indispensable. $60.000 has already arrived to the Lvov region. But after the reconstruction the synagogue will not be used directly for its purpose, as in Zholkva there are almost no Jews and no registered religious Jewish community. The synagogue will become a center of Galicija Jewish culture. A unique collection of Judaics kept in the Lvov museums will move in here.
