(Preamble). The great merit of the handicraft is explained by the words of our scholars in many places. Here is what we find in Talmud: “Braver is the one who earns a living with their hands than the one who fears God, as it is written about the one fearing God: 'Happy is the one fearing God' etc., while, about the one who earns a living with their hands, it is written: 'If you eat from the work of your hands, you will be happy and well'. And our scholars also said: 'Man should always learn a handicraft, which is easy and clean'. What does it mean an easy and clean handicraft? Rabbi Iehuda says: 'The sewer's needle', and by 'clean' they mean 'clean from theft and concurrence', as our scholars noticed related to the verse: 'And Bileam raised his eyes and saw Israel doing his activities'. And what did he see? He saw that the entries of the tents are not placed one in front of the other, so that they cannot look into each other's tent. What the scholars wanted to show by this was that no man should crave for his neighbor's belongings, he should not harm him, he should not cheat and make concurrence to him, as they explained the verse: 'Everyone from his work', they emphasized the words FROM HIS WORK and not from his neighbor's work, as no one touched what had been decided as belonging to the other. Then they said: 'There is no handicraftsman who disappears from this world without people needing him. Happy is the one with a noble handicraft, pity the one with a degraded handicraft. However, there is no handicraft without poverty and richness, as everything is depending on men's merits. Man should pray the one who has richness and wealth, to give him luck in what he does with his hands. Amen.”

The entire statute above is written in Rasi; and now I get to the other writings and signatures in the Pinkas (translator's note).
May God's grace be on the hands that undersign here, in order to sustain the statutes provided in the Pinkas of the “Poalei Tedek” society, pledging to support and strengthen them by our word and powers.

According to the documentary materials, the temple's activity, the committee elections and the budget can be observed. Once, the number of parishioners was 310. In 1935, there were given 186 pews or arm chairs. The committee was elected in a democratic way. In 1920, the committee was composed of the following persons: Hers Calmanovici, Josef Aronovici, Isaac Avram.In 1937, the leaders were as follows: Rabin Vacsman, Moise Mendel and Iancu Volf. The incomes were provided by selling pews, dues, rents, donations. In 1925, the Rabin S. Hoerer was employed for 10 years. In 1929, on the temple's land a new poultry abattoirs was built. During the persecution, 50 prisoners were housed in there. The poorest of them were fed from the temple's founds. The decrease of the Jewish population has the effect of transforming the temple into a museum.

We must share a history with you : true in its whole......
More than eight years ago, the Centre for Studying the Jews' History concluded that, besides the documents volumes ( I.M.E.R.) it would be fit to pay attention to the day by day life of Jews, belonging to the different communities living in Romania. And therefore, a monograph started.
When we presented our intentions to the country's communities, we received - among first works- a research of the professor Iosif Leibu , named “ Data regarding the Jews Community of Bacau.
Considering that this work is a precious initiative, our centre obtained, with the support of that time's president of the community, Mr. Lawyer I.Brill, the agreement of a collective potential co laboratories. Therefore we reached the conclusion that it was possible to bring additional information to Mr. Prof. I. Leibu.
This was the way the collective of persons presented on the second page of this book appeared.
This way we could make a larger work, organized on chapters having a specific theme. In order to make a solid work, we appealed to the large experience and the full energy of the historian of Jewish people from Moldavia, Mr. I.Kara, respectively.
The local archives had been seriously researched with much competence by Mr. C. Marcusohn; in the same time we got a large number of documents from the Israelian archives.
Therefore, we could gather rich material, a new organization and completeness of the work followed afterwards.
It is clear that such a work is difficult to be realized and what is important, it can be realized through a collective work.
In this respect, we hope the work will be appreciated.
A good thought for the sponsors, young people living in Israel who wanted to honor their parents, their country and their town where they can find their own roots.
