The Malbim Synagogue was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4 Strada Bravilor, in Bucharest, Romania. The synagogue was completed in 1864 and demolished in 1987.[1]
The synagogue was built in 1864 upon the initiative of head rabbi Meir Leibush Wisser and reconstructed in 1912.[2] The building was named after Rabbi Meir Leibish Malbim (1809-1879), being Chief Rabbi of Bucharest and Romania (1858-1864).[3]
The building was devastated by the far-right Legionaries in 1941. The synagogue was rebuilt after World War II; however, in 1987, along with the Spanish Small Temple, the building was demolished to make room for the Union Boulevard in Bucharest.
