Szegő Dóra - Szegő György: Synagogues - Our Budapest (Budapest, 2004)

The Synagogue in Rumbach Sebestyén utca

Scheiber that the literary and debating society at the turn of the 1970s and '80s was organised. It was here that Professor József Schweitzer founded the Yahalom Jewish Open University in the 1990s. The teaching activities have recently been extended to include instruction in Jewish history and cultural history, the history of liturgy and the training of social and communal workers as well as rabbis and Jewish school-teachers. With the addition of new faculties, the name of the Institute has been changed to the National Rabbinical Seminary and Jewish University. Its popular temple keeps its gates open to the Jewish youth.

The Synagogue in Rumbach Sebestyén utca

The synagogue known as "the Rombach” by the Terézváros Jews of an earlier period was one of the three temple-designs made by the Viennese Otto Wagner that were actually realised, and is of especially great architectonic value.
