Temple Shalom, Zvenigorodka

Temple Shalom is in Zvenigorodka...:
The Reform movement is referred to as the “Progressive” movement throughout Europe The Jews of Zvenigorodka had established a Progressive congregation shortly after the Republic of Ukraine broke free of the Soviet Union in the mid 1990s. The congregation had successfully petitioned the government for the return of a building that had been a synagogue prior to the Nazi occupation of Ukraine during World War II. Used as a stable by the Nazis and as an eye clinic by the Soviets, the building was in disrepair, but it nonetheless served as a magnet for the reborn Jewish community of Zvenigorodka
