The Great Synagogue (Romanian: Sinagoga Mare), also known as the Great Polish Synagogue, is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 11 Vasile Adamache, in the Old Jewish District of Bucharest, Romania. The synagogue was completed in 1847 by the Polish-Jewish community. The building is also used as a Jewish museum.
History
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 used to host weekend religious services. Dr. Moses Rosen was former rabbi of the congregation.
