The Beit Israel Synagogue is Brașov's largest Jewish house of worship. An Orthodox congregation has been active here since 2015. Beit Israel (House of Israel) was built between 1899 and 1901 in the Neo-Gothic style with Moorish accents, designed by the Hungarian architect Lipót Baumhorn. Brașov's Jewish community was officially established in 1826. The occupational restrictions imposed on Jews by medieval Saxon statutes remained an obstacle to the community's development for a time, but the number of Jews in Brașov steadily increased, from 769 in 1890 to 6,000 in 1940. The community split in 1877 into an Orthodox (traditionalist) and a Neo-Orthodox rite, each building its own place of worship. Both synagogues exist to this day.
