The Samara Choral Synagogue, completed in 1908 in Samara, Russia, exemplifies Moorish Revival architecture and stands as a regional cultural heritage site. Designed by architect Selman Weniaminowitsch Kleinerman, the building represents the period when such ornate, orientalist styles were favored for Jewish institutional buildings across the Russian Empire. As a designated architectural landmark, it reflects both the aesthetic preferences of early-twentieth-century synagogue design and the historical presence of a significant Jewish community in the Volga region.
