Detailed
Description		    On the issue of a newly constructed synagogue's design in Bistrita, Transylvania. Apparently, some individuals felt that the design smells of Reform. The chairman of the community, Isaac Blumenfeld, responds in this polemic.

Bistrita (Rum. Bistrita; Hg. Beszterce; Ger. Bistritz), town in Transylvania, Rumania; within Hungary until 1918 and between 1940 and 1945. After the prohibition on Jewish settlement there was lifted in 1848, Jews began to settle in Bistrita, mainly from Bukovina and Galicia. The community in Bistrita was Orthodox with a strong hasidic element although there were also Jews who adopted the German and Hungarian culture. The Jewish population numbered 718 in 1891 (out of a total of 9,100).
