Bucharest has lots of reminders of Romania’s Jewish heritage and Jewish roots:
- The Choral Temple, built in 1866
- The ‘Holy Union’ Temple, built in 1836, nowadays hosting the Romanian Judaic Community Museum, with a most fascinating collection, inaccessible until recently, of ritual objects, collected by Rabbi Rosen during his period as Chief Rabbi of Romania. Of particular interest, there are the fine parochot (Torah curtains), and Torah crowns, pointers and rimonim (Torah Finials), some of which are characteristic of the local style. This museum traces the history of the Jewish people in Romania from AD 1000 through World War II
- The Great Synagogue built in 1846, nowadays hosting the Holocaust Museum
