The Ezras Izrael Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Ezras Izrael), also known as Wołyńska Shul, was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue or shul, located at ul. Wólczańska 6 Street, in Łódź, in the Łódź Voivodeship of Poland. Designed by Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger and completed in 1904, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis in November 1939.

History

The synagogue was built between 1899 and 1904 from donations by the Jewish merchants including those expelled from Tsarist Lithuania and Belarus area. The synagogue flourished for thirty years before it was burned to the ground by the Nazis on November 11, 1939 before the Łódź Ghetto was established.

Other synagogues destroyed by the Nazis in Łódź included the Great Synagogue, on November 14, 1939, and the Stara Synagogue, on November 15–16, 1939.
