Sculeni (Template:Lang-yi, Skulen) is a commune in Ungheni District, Moldova. It is composed of four villages: Blindești, Floreni, Gherman and Sculeni.

It is also a border checkpoint to Romania.

History

The town had an important Jewish community before World War II to such an extent that a Hasidic dynasty is designated after its name, the Skulen Hasidic dynasty.

In June 1941, hundreds of Jews from the area were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by a death squad of Romanian troops.
