The Jewish State Theatre has been designated as a national institution of importance by a government decision, announced by Culture Minister Ioana Ciocan. With a history of around 150 years, it was established in Iași and is recognized as the first professional Jewish theatre in the world. This recognition is seen as a significant moment for Romanian culture and national minorities. The theatre's origins date back to August 19, 1876, and it has faced challenges, including restrictions during World War II. Since becoming a state institution in 1948, it has showcased numerous premieres and toured internationally.
