History
Jews were already living in Brassó in the 15th century, but they were not officially allowed to settle until 1807. Brassó was the first Saxon town where Jewish merchants played a role, and they were the ones who wrote the petition that later allowed Jews to settle in other Transylvanian towns.
After 1868, the congregation became neolog, and in 1877 it split into two branches: the neolog (led by Aronshon Löbl) favoring integration and the nationalist orthodox (led by Adler Bernhard). Both communities built their own prayer houses. The Neologue synagogue was built between 1899 and 1901 at 29 Orphanage Street, designed by Baumhorn Lipót in the Moorish style, and inaugurated on 20 August 1901 by Rabbi Ludovic Pap-Rosenberg.
In the first four decades of the 20th century, the Jewish community in the city grew to 3,494. In November 1940, the synagogue was damaged by the Romanian Iron Guard, who smashed its equipment. The building was used as a gymnasium until 1944, and was repaired after the Second World War. In 1949, the neolog and orthodox denominations were reunited. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the majority of Jews emigrated, and their numbers in the city were greatly reduced.
