Kazinczy Street Synagogue

Great place. Orthodoxy is the true Judaism

This complex is functioning as a centre of the Hungarian orthodox community. The building is an exception to the rule: the former Jewish quarter is characterised by organic unity, avoidance of grandiose architectural gestures and labyrinth of spontaneous spaces, connections, created by Löffler Bros of Budapest. Kazinczy Synagogue recalls the atmosphere of 18-19th century Shtetls. The complex includes the full establishment for a jewish community: synagogue, beit midrash, rabbi-flat, school, offices, restaurant and kitchen. School was built in 1911, hall in 1912 and the synagogue at Rosh Hasana in 1913.

Beautiful inside and outside as well. The ornaments with the traditional Hungarian motives are really special. Worth to go with a guide and get to know everything about Jewish life there in the past and present.

We did not get to seeing the main synagogue. Instead, I prayed in the small bet midrash, which on rosh chodesh got quite crowded

Super interesting and you can get a free guide tour in a looooot if languages inside
