The Újpest Synagogue is a Neolog Judaism synagogue in Újpest (New Pest), a district of Budapest, Hungary. [1] The Romantic-style edifice was built in 1866 and holds 1,000 seats. [1] Rabbi Sander Rosenberg from Arad officiated at the opening ceremony. [1] Its establishment was a "great holiday" for the Jews and Christians of Újpest. [1] It lies in 8 Gergely Berzeviczy Street about five minutes from Újpest-Városkapu metro station.
The synagogue was founded by the Lowy family. [2]
The Orthodox Judaism community, which did not agree with Neolog Judaism, split off and created their own synagogue. [1]
During World War II, the synagogue was looted and partially destroyed by the Nazis. [1] After the war the synagogue was rebuilt and a Holocaust memorial was added next to the synagogue. [1] The memorial, which was unveiled by Hungarian President Zoltán Tildy, is a wall with names of the 17,000 Jewish Ujpest residents that were victims of the Holocaust. [1]
