The Jews in Braila are first mentioned in the 15th century. The Jews of Braila were of Spanish origin and lived Mainly in the "Street of the Jews", where they had a synagogue and a cemetery. After Brailawas declared a free port, many Jews from the principalities of Moldova flocked to it. The central government of Valachia did not see it favorably and some of the Jews protested against it This and he was interested in the coming of the Jewish entrepreneurs. Under the rule of Barbo Stirbey, the ruler of Vlachia, the expulsion of the Jews was stopped.
