Hazan The purpose of this article is to outline the general history of synagogues in Introduction Bulgaria within its present boundaries. Te approach adhered to in following has been strongly influenced by the author‘s participation in preparing an exhibition for 2007‘s European Day of Jewish Culture organized by B‘nei B‘rith Europe, entitled “European Synagogues as Testimony of the Past” and designed by a team of specialists from the Jewish Museum of History in Sofa (JMHS). Te team‘s work on the exhibition proved to be a ‗treasure trove‘ in identifying the historical trends of development of synagogal construction on the continent. This is why the eighteen centuries long history of synagogues in Bulgaria reviewed here fits exactly into the context of the Braunschweig Congress—―Jewish Architecture in Europe‖. It must be noted that seen in the long run, ―Jewish history of Bulgaria‖ 1 Philipopolis/Trimontium is ‗no great exception to the rule‘, namely that of the European Diaspora (now: Plovdiv), ancient s y n a g o g u e ( t in general.
