Yeshua Tova Synagogue, Historical synagogue in central Bucharest, Romania.
Yeshua Tova Synagogue is a house of worship in central Bucharest adorned with religious motifs and decorative bas-reliefs above the front doors and upper facade. Its interior layout follows traditional design principles that organize the space for prayer and community gatherings.
Founded in 1827, it holds the distinction of being Bucharest's oldest synagogue and has endured through significant political and social upheavals. The building has served as an anchor for the local Jewish community across different historical periods.
The synagogue follows Ashkenazi prayer traditions rooted in Central and Eastern European Jewish communities. These liturgical practices continue to shape the religious life and observances within the congregation today.
The synagogue is located near Piața Romană metro station on Tache Ionescu Street and is easily accessible on foot. Regular services and educational programs run throughout the year, so checking ahead helps you plan a visit at a convenient time.
A comprehensive 2007 renovation preserved the original Moorish Revival architectural details while modernizing the interior for contemporary community use. This blend of historic preservation and functional adaptation makes the space work for today's activities and gatherings.
