Jewish Revival in Budapest: A Synagogue Run Entirely by Youth
A historic 150-year-old synagogue in Budapest has reopened with a unique mission, serving as a vibrant hub for the local Jewish community. Led by Chabad emissary Rabbi Tzemi Basman, the congregation stands out because all of its active participants and administrators are under the age of 18. This youth-led initiative highlights a remarkable resurgence of Jewish life and engagement among teenagers in Hungary's capital. By empowering the younger generation to take charge of religious services and community management, the synagogue fosters a strong, independent sense of Jewish identity.
