The Choral Temple (Template:Langx) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 9-11 Sf. Vineri Street, in Bucharest, Romania. Designed in the Moorish Revival style, the synagogue was completed in 1866.
History
Designed by Enderle and Freiwald and built between 1864 and 1866, it is a very close copy of Vienna's Leopoldstadt-Tempelgasse Great Synagogue, which had been built in 1855–1858. The synagogue was devastated by the far-right Legionaries in January 1941, but was then restored after World War II, in 1945. The main hall was recently refurbished, and re-opened in 2015. The synagogue is still hosts daily religious services in the small hall, being one of the few active synagogues in the city and in Romania.[1]
