The opening as it read in 2025
Destroyed synagogue in Tarnów, Poland For similarly named synagogues, see New Synagogue . The New Synagogue ( Polish : Nowa Synagoga ), officially the New Synagogue of Tłomackie ( Polish : Nowa Synagoga w Tarnowie ), was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue , that was located on the corner of Nowa and Waryńskiego Streets, in Tarnów , in the Masovian Voivodeship of Poland . The synagogue was designed by Władysław Ekielski in the Moorish Revival style, commenced in 1865 and completed in 1908, the lack of funds delayed timely construction. The synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was set on fire by the Nazis in November 1939. The fire lasted three days but the building did not collapse; it was blown up instead. The only remnant of the synagogue, a pillar, was preserved as an element of the monument in the Jewish cemetery in Tarnów. In September 1993, the Committee for the Protection of Monuments of Jewish Culture from Tarnów placed a plaque on a building at the corner of Nowa and Waryńskiego Streets. The inscription, in Polish and Hebrew, reads: “Here stood the greatest synagogue called “the New synagogue”. In November 1939 it was burned down by the Germans.” "New (Jubilee) Synagogue in Tarnów, Poland - Postcard" (Photograph) . The Bezalel Narkiss Index of Jewish Art . Center for Jewish Art .
