בית הכנסת הגדול
בית הכנסת תוכנן בידי האדריכל מקס (לואב) לב והקימה אותו חברת "מגדל".
המיקום נקבע בשנת 1935, במקום שהיה הרחוב הראשי של השכונה, שדרות השופטים, הנקרא כיום שדרות משה גושן. ההסכם עם האדריכל והחברה המבצעת נחתם ע"י נציגי ועד "השכונה העממית אגודה שיתופית בע"מ". חברי הוועד החליטו, שההוצאות לבניית בית הכנסת לא תהיינה יותר מאשר 1,000 לירות ארץ ישראליות (לא"י) וכי התרומות לבית הכנסת תועברנה אל קופת האגודה. בשנת 1939 גויס תקציב להשלמת הבנייה באמצעות הנפקת תעודות "שטרות" תמורת רכישת מקום קבוע בבית הכנסת. חלק נכבד מעבודות הגימור בבית הכנסת עשו בעלי מלאכה מקרב תושבי השכונה. בית הכנסת נחנך במרץ 1941 בטקס רב רושם במעמד המושל הבריטי.
בית הכנסת, בבעלות עיריית מוצקין, הוכרז אתר לשימור.

The sign shape is rectangular but its head is designed according to the silhouette of the old building of the Gymnasia Herzliya, which serves as a logo of the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel

The Great Synagogue
The synagogue was designed by architect Max (Loeb) Lev and built by the "Migdal" company.
The location was determined in 1935, on what was once the neighborhood’s main street, Sderot HaShoftim, now called Sderot Moshe Goshen. The agreement with the architect and the implementing company was signed by representatives of the "People’s Neighborhood Cooperative Association Ltd." The committee members decided that the expenses for building the synagogue would not exceed 1,000 Israeli pounds (IL) and that donations to the synagogue would be transferred to the association’s coffers. In 1939, a budget was raised to complete the construction by issuing "bills" in exchange for the purchase of a permanent place in the synagogue. A significant portion of the finishing work on the synagogue was done by craftsmen from among the neighborhood’s residents. The synagogue was inaugurated in March 1941 in a very impressive ceremony in the presence of the British governor.
The synagogue, owned by the Motzkin Municipality, was declared a conservation site.
