The Yeshua Tova Synagogue (Romanian: Sinagoga Eșua Tova), also known as the Podul Mogoşoaiei Synagogue (Romanian: Sinagoga Podul Mogoşoaiei), is an Hasidic Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 9 Tache Ionescu Street, near Piaţa Amzei and Piața Romană metro station, in Bucharest, Romania. Designed in the Moorish Revival style, the synagogue was completed in 1827,[1] and is the city's oldest synagogue.
