Cahal Grande și slujitorii ei
The Cahal Grande Temple and her Servants

Summary/Abstract: After a general introduction about the Sephardi Jews of Bucharest, the study presents the Cahal Grande synagogue. Before having been destroyed by the Romanian far-right Legionary Movement, it was famous for its beauty. This study also focuses on the destiny of two of its faithful servants: Rabbi Sabetay Djaen and Cantor Alberto della Pergola. Neither of them was born in Bucharest, but they had grown strong roots there, as they were noted for their communal work and for their intellectual activity in Romania.
