http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Wonderful Guide Eduard (romaniajewishtours.com and medievaltours.com) escorted us through the remnants of Jewish Bucharest and filled heads to bursting. The first stop was to the Great Synagogue of Bucharest which is also a Holocaust Museum, built in 1845-1846. A Jewish presence in Bucharest was first documented in 1550 and the Jewish community was once the largest minority community in Bucharest. I'll let Eduard dispense information in this and subsequent videos since he communicated the facts so well. Eduard, who is NOT Jewish, is a perfect example of how important it is for all peoples to visit important religious sites throughout the world. The ex-Marine (husband, Steve) and I are forever lighting candles in Churches, making kora (circumambulating around a Buddhist sacred site), and even a Jain pilgrimage. Have got to cover all eventualities, right? Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
