The synagogue is still used by the small Jewish community of Bershad that worships in the Ashkenazi rite.

[2] It is not to be confused with the magnificent Great Synagogue,[3] which does no longer exist.

The walls of the synagogue are wattle and daub and white-washed, looking like a common rural building.

It is surrounded by four round wooden columns, sits in the centre of the prayer hall and is elevated by one step.

The Holy Ark, a carved wooden closet, is situated on the western wall.
