The Synagogue

The Jews were concerned, from the beginning of their settlement,with their religion. At first, they met in prayer homes installed in residential homes and then by building synagogues by different categories of parishioners who were frequenting them. Thus, in 1780, the Great Synagogue was set up and also a mikwe with a steam bath was installed. The Great Synagogue also functioned as headquarters for the first Jewish Community in Galati (epitropia).
