Frommer's Staff

This is the first temple built in Hungary after World War II as a memorial to those from this area who died in the Holocaust. It is probably the smallest Jewish temple in the world. It was dedicated on May 17, 1998, by Professor Jószef Sweitzer, the chief rabbi of Hungary. Men are given a yamaka to wear when entering.
