Detail InformationEdit

The Great Synagogue of Iaşi was built in 1671 and is the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.
The building has round-arched windows, and two wings. One wing is two-stories high and capped by a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The other is a tall, single-story hall with and a 32’diameter dome capped with a lantern. The dome was added to the building in the early 20th-century.
Of the more than 110 synagogues in Iaşi before World War II, only the Great Synagogue remains. It is a free standing building in a small garden off Cucu Street (once called Sinagogilor Street for the many synagogues located on it) just north of the city center in the old Jewish neighbourhood of Targu Cucului. The synagogue underwent major renovations in 1761, 1822 and 1864. It was partly restored in the 1970’s and a major restoration was begun in 2010. The Women’s gallery houses a small museum of the Jewish community of Iaşi. The synagogue is one of only two which continues to serve the dwindling Jewish community of Iaşi.
