About Us
Who We Are
Welcome to the Chabad of Kishinev and Moldova. As we’ve been doing since the Fall of Communism in 1990 for Jewish communities in Kishinev as well as cities throughout the rest of Moldova, we’ll assist you with kosher food, daily prayer services (minyan) and any other needs you might have. When trying to conjure a mental picture of this country, most of us draw a blank.
The name is not connected to any image that comes readily to mind–it’s just another geographical spot in that conglomerate of vague old-new nations awkwardly tagged, “The Former Soviet Union.” For others, the name Kishinev has sinister connotations, recalling grim photos of piles of bodies–Jewish victims of the terrible pogroms which were perpetrated there at the turn of the century.
