With only about 4,000 members of the Jewish community left in Bucharest today, it is rather difficult to imagine that in 1930 it represented up to 11% of the entire city’s population. The Jewish quarter was severely affected by the Fascist pogrom in the 40s, followed by the demolitions initiated in the 80s by the communists, with most streets simply wiped off the map and 6 synagogues and Jewish temples demolished. Nevertheless, some emblematic buildings like the Great Polish Synagogue and the legendary Barașeum Theatre have survived and are here to tell their stories. Take a trip down the history lane and learn about some of the most influential Jewish personalities, like the Dadaist and Modernist architect Marcel Iancu and his landmark buildings, discover the major sights and cultural icons of the former Jewish Quarter in Bucharest and find out about a darker period of Romanian history.

    The Great Synagogue in Bucharest, Romania was raised in 1845 by the Polish-Jewish community. 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 (the Iron Guard movement).

Loan was very knowledgeable and very accurate on his history if the Jewish community in Bucharest. He was able to answer questions on past present and future about Jewish life. Our trip to the Yiddish theatre was very enlightening about the last Jewish theatre in Romania. Overall this was a very emotional tour and highly rated.

My wife and I took two tours from Step by Step, the Jewish Heritage Walking Tour in Bucharest and the Food & Culture Tour in Bucharest. Both tours were terrific and helped make our stay in Bucharest more memorable. Laura and her team know their subject matter extremely well and presented a well organized tour. We didn’t feel rushed and in fact felt like we were spending the time with a friend. I would recommend any of their tours to anyone spending time in Bucharest and want to learn about the city and country and their history.

Laura devised a unique experience including background, historical significance, and current uses for the Jewish synagogues, neighborhoods, businesses,and architecture. We were treated to several other lecturers who provided detailed stories of these buildings, but the best was the Jewish theater w Chagall-esque windows and Yiddish productions. This tour is a must for anyone with an interest in Jewish Romanian life. 5+ stars!
