Bershad (Ukrainian: Бершадь, IPA: [ˈbɛrʃɐdʲ] ⓘ; Polish: Berszad) is a city in Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine, located in the historic region of Podolia.

In 1648, during the Khmelnytsky Uprising under the Cossacks, Maksym Kryvonis conquered Bershad and slew many of the Catholics and Jews there.

[2] Bershad was famous in the middle of the nineteenth century for its Jewish weavers of the tallit, a ritual shawl worn by Jews at prayer.

During World War II, Romanian forces allied with the Nazi Germans transformed the Bershad area into a ghetto as part of the Romanian-occupied Transnistria Governorate.

Thousands of Jews were starved to death in the ghetto during the Holocaust, including the writer and poet Mordechai Goldenberg.
