Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Great Synagogue of Iași (Шаблон:Lang-ro) is the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania,[1] located in Iași. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.[2]

History and architecture

Raised in 1671, the Great Synagogue is a free standing building adjacent to 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 Târgu Cucului. The synagogue underwent major renovations in 1761, 1822 and 1864. It was partly restored in the 1970s and a major restoration took place between 2006 and 2018.[3][4] The Women's Gallery houses a small museum of the Jewish community of Iași.

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 a Шаблон:Convert diameter dome capped with a lantern. The dome was added to the building in the early 20th century.[5]

Of the more than 110 synagogues in Iași before World War II, the Great Synagogue remains a witness of the Holocaust, and it is one of only two which continues to serve the dwindling Jewish community of Iași.[6]
