Several Holocaust survivors, including Iudit Varadi, travel 150 kilometers from Oradea to visit friends from the synagogue in the Romanian city of Satu Mare on August 27, 2013. They also attend the concert of a Klezmer band from Oradea who performed favorite songs from the musical, ‘The Fiddler on the Roof’. The synagogue in Satu Mare no longer has a quorum of male members, called a minion, in order to perform religious ceremonies, so the space is only used for concerts. Unbeknownst to many, Satu Mare is the birthplace of the largest sect within the Hasidic Jewish community called Satmar. The sect is known for its extremely conservative Hasidic interpretations of Judaism with a worldwide population of over one hundred thousand members. It’s sadly ironic that with such a large global population bearing its name, the Jews from Satu Mare are unable to hold religious services since tradition dictates that there must be at least ten adult males present to perform certain religious obligations. (Update January 15, 2025: The Jewish population of Satu Mare is now estimated at well under one hundred people. )
