This jewish synagogue was established in 1864 in comme. For the Jewish community of Bucharest it is the largest place of worship, and one of the only few active places of worship in Romania. Services are held daily in a small hall. Architecturally, it's a sombre but elegant neo-Moorish building, modelled on the Vienna's Leopoldstadt-Tempelgasse Great Synagogue. Visitors are always impressed by the sheer expanse of mosaic patterns on the walls, especially their vibrant colors. If you ask, the caregiver will be glad to give you a short tour of the building.
