INTRODUCTION:

The Center for Research on Romanian Jewry was established in 1973. Its major functions are to promote research on Romanian Jewry; to gather information and documentation on the history of the Romanian Jewish community; to foster ties with cultural institutions in Romania and institutions set up by Romanians now living in the Diaspora, including those established by Bessarabians, Bukovinians and Transylvanians.

The center has a research library and holds scholarly conferences and seminars dedicated to the history of Romanian Jewry. Once in three academic years the Centrer distributes a prize on the name of late M. Rudich, to encourage research on subjects connected to history / civilization / arts of Romanian Jewry.
