CENTRAL SYNAGOGUE OF CHISINAU its founded in 1886.
“Sennaya” synagogue, located in the historical part of Chisinau, is one of the oldest functioning synagogues in the capital and the Republic of Moldova as a whole. Its role in the formation of the Jewish community in the region is exceptional.

In recent years an abandoned synagogue building in Chisinau has been restored and transformed into an active Community Center open to all comers. Most of the activities are subsidized and carried out by volunteers who work out of a sense of ideology and a mission to feel a sense of belonging and pride in the Jewish community of Moldova.

The Jewish Community of the Republic of Moldova was officially registered in 1997, being the successor of the Republican Society of Jewish Culture (created in 1989) and the Jewish Community of Bessarabia.

CERM is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit, public organization, which unites all Jewish communities and organizations of the Republic of Moldova, including the regional communities of Balti, Orhei, Soroca, Bender, Tiraspol, Grigoriopol, Dubasari, Ribnitsa.
