The synagogue and the Jewish cemetery of the Orthodox community of Nyirbato will be sold at auction to meet the claim of 800 pengoes (approximately $140) according to an official announcement in the city gazette.
The claim was presented by a local builder, a Christian, who constructed a ritual bath for the Orthodox community in 1925. Unable to meet the bill, a Judgment against the synagogue and cemetery, the real iproperty of the community, was granted. The cemetery is to be sold for at least 200 pengoes and the synagogue for 600 pengoes, according to the order for the auction sale.
