This Synagogue was built in 1896-1898 by the architect Tsalel Gershevich Ginger. For a long time there was an unspoken rule in Chisinau: for every 500 Jews in the city there must be one synagogue.

In 1964 the city authorities ordered the closure of all synagogues except the Glaziers’ Synagogue, which remained the only legally operating synagogue for more than 40 years. It is now run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. The original mural paintings have been preserved inside. The synagogue complex includes the building and the mikveh.
