Jewish Bucharest Tour
A quick introductory video tour into the Jewish Bucharest.
Use your visit to Romania to explore the Jewish history of the country. Although, much of Bucharest's Jewish quarter was knocked down during the Communist times, many unique artifacts have been preserved and are now exhibited in the Jewish History Museum housed in the former Synagogue of Tailors. The Great Synagogue of Bucharest, hidden behind the Communist-era apartment buildings, is a beautiful and well preserved Temple. The Holocaust museum, located in the Temple, features photographs, people's testaments, facts and figures related to this tragic time. Coral Temple, which is undergoing interior works and is closed for visits now, is the 3d temple in Bucharest. The Holocaust memorial is a must.
Jewish Bucharest tour is a must for those interested in learning about the past and present of Romania's and Bucharest's Jewry.
Jewish Bucharest tour can be arranged as a shore excursion for those coming to Constanta with a cruise. More about our Constanta and Bucharest tours and shore excursions at odessawalks.com
The Choral Temple - Bucharest
One of the first synagogues in Bucharest was the Choral Temple, which was completed in 1857 by architects Enderle and Freiwald; it is a copy of the Leopoldstadt-Tempelgasse Great Synagogue in Vienna and has a façade decorated in Moorish style with yellow-and-red patterned brickwork. A wealthy Jewish community was established in the city by the mid-16th century but never lived in complete harmony with its Romanian neighbors. In 1593, many were killed during a rebellion against the city’s Ottoman overlords and unrest continued to rumble for several centuries.
Several years after the Choral Temple was built, it was destroyed in a pogrom and rebuilt in 1866. Even with the destruction, the city’s Jewish population continued to grow. By 1930, it numbered 74,480 while the pogroms and indiscriminate killings continued. During World War II, all Bucharest’s synagogues were closed down and many thousands of Romanian Jews were sent to their deaths in Transnistria and Bessarabia. Following the war, Jewish numbers in the city swelled with refugees from other eastern European countries but uncertainty under the autocratic rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu led to mass immigration to Israel.
With the collapse of Communism, a memorial was erected outside the synagogue in 1991 to commemorate the thousands of Romanian Jews who died in the Holocaust, and in 2006, a painstaking restoration of its interior was undertaken; the synagogue finally reopened in December 2014 with its Moorish tiles, carved wooden balconies and heavy chandeliers gleaming once more.

Jewish Romania: Holy Union Synagogue of Tailors Museum, Bucharest
Steve and I kept on going with guide Eduard (romaniajewishtours.com and medievaltours.com) to the Holy Union Synagogue of Tailors, now a Jewish History Museum. This temple managed to survive in its entirety through both World War II and Ceausescu (Romania's last Communist leader) who was intent on destroying anything having to do with religion. Built in 1850 by the Jewish Tailors' Guild of Bucharest, this stunning temple had Moorish, Romanesque and Byzantine elements.
Displays inside included a collection of books, paintings of and by Romanian Jews, and archives of Romanian History.

Jewish Romania: The Yeshua Tova Synagogue, Bucharest
One last Bucharest temple with guide Eduard (romaniajewishtours.com and medievaltours.com) at the Yeshua Tova Synagogue. Yeshua Tova is an ultra-Orthodox Synagogue run by the Chabad Lubavitch, a Hasidic sect who incorporates the teachings of Kabala/Kabbalah. Hmm, I wonder if Madonna or Demi have ever visited this Synagogue...
Yeshua Tova Synagogue was built in 1827, renovated in 2007 and very easy to find, located only a few blocks from University Square. It is Bucharest's oldest synagogue.
On a side note that has nothing to do with Judaism, there was a wonderful bakery across the street - great cheese rolls!

A commemoration like this is an exercise in learning. This kind of trauma, such a tragedy, is hard to understand even after many years have passed. We have now many documents, books have been written, films were made. We still look stunned at an event like this. We now try to integrate it into Romanian history.

10. SOUNDBITE (Romanian) Aurel Vainer, President of Federation of Jewish Communities in Romania:
During those times, they took a number of Jews, led them to the slaughter house of Bucharest, the place where they sacrifice animals for human consumption. They shot them, 10 of them, in the back of the head, they put them on those belts they put sacrificed animals on, and they wrote 'kosher meat' on them.

STORYLINE:
A special service was held at Bucharest's Jewish synagogue, the Choral Temple, on Thursday in honour of victims of the 1941 pogrom.
More than 120 Jews were killed in Bucharest in January 1941 during a violent rampage by the Legion of the Archangel Michael - a Romanian fascist organisation which robbed and tortured hundreds of Jews.
The revolt by members of the Iron Guard lasted three days before it was crushed by the Romanian military ruler Ion Antonescu.
Adrian Cioflanca, the Director of the Centre for the Study of the History of Jews in Romania, said: we still look stunned at an event like this. We now try to integrate it into Romanian history.
