Two new synagogues open in Budapest
Chabad launch two shuls, one in the central area of the capital overlooking the Danube river, and the other in the northern suburb of the city
Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis in Hungary opened two new synagogues in the Budapest area.
The larger synagogue in Újlipótváros, a central area of the capital city, is housed in a riverside building overlooking the Danube River. It will be part of a three-story Jewish community centre and worship complex being built by EMIH, the Chabad-affiliated Jewish federation of Hungary, the group said in a statement.
The other synagogue is in Szentendre, a northern suburb of Budapest.
Both synagogues were opened on Sunday.
Hungary has about 100,000 Jews, by far the largest Jewish community in Central Europe.
