Description

The guided tour begins at Madách tér, the 'Gate to the Jewish Quarter', where we first learn about the history of Budapest Jewry. This is followed by a walk to the Great Synagogue, where we also get to see the small Jewish cemetery and the Emanuel Tree (Holocaust memorial). Later, we immerse ourselves in the world of conservative Jews: in addition to the Mikve (ritual bath), the orthodox synagogue, kosher restaurants and other facilities, we also learn about their customs and traditions. Jewish cuisine and eating habits are also a topic - we can even taste the typical Jewish dessert of Budapest Jews, the flodni. At the end of the tour, the Rumbach Synagogue tells us about the division of the various Jewish groups, as well as about the Holocaust and the post-war history and current situation of Jews in Budapest.
