Jewish Ieud
Ieud (Yiddish Yoed), a village in Maramureș about thirty kilometres south-east of Sighet, was home to a small Jewish community: Jews were recorded there as early as 1728, and the synagogue is mentioned in 1830. The community had a Mishnah society, a beit midrash and a Talmud Torah, and produced rabbis who wrote books and Zionist writers. In 1940 the village was annexed to Hungary; at the end of April 1944 its Jews were taken to the Dragomirești ghetto and from there to Auschwitz. The cemetery is now listed by the Federation under the Sighet community.

Packaged products: our kosher catalogue
Hundreds of products from Romanian supermarkets with a recognised hechsher. In the catalogue you can filter by the chain you shop at.
Open the kosher catalogueWhat you can buy fresh in any supermarket
- Fresh, whole fruit and vegetables — no kashrut issue, but leafy greens, cabbage, broccoli and strawberries must be checked for insects.
- Fresh, whole fish — a fish where you can see fins and scales, such as carp, trout, whole salmon or sea bream. Ask the shop not to clean or cut it with its own knives, or clean it at home with kosher utensils. Fillets without skin, smoked or seasoned fish — only with a hechsher.
- Eggs — permitted; check each egg for blood spots before use.
- Staples — water, sugar, salt, rice and oil — preferably from the catalogue or with a kosher symbol on the pack.
- Meat, poultry, dairy, cheese and bread — only under recognised supervision. You can order kosher meals from Moise House or ask the local Jewish community.
General guidance for travellers. For any kashrut question, consult a rabbi.
