Great Synagogue (Bucharest)
The Great Synagogue in Bucharest, Romania was raised in 1845 by the Polish-Jewish community.
It was repaired in 1865, redesigned in 1903 and 1909, repainted in Rococo style in 1936 by Ghershon Horowitz, then it was restored again in 1945, as it had been devastated by the far-right Legionnaires.
It still hosts weekend religious services, being one of the few active synagogues in the city. Former Rabbi was Dr. Moses Rosen.
