Frankel Synagogue

The Frankel Synagogue is situated on the Buda side of Budapest, approximately a 10-minute walk north of Margaret Bridge. Built in 1888 in the Neo-Gothic style, with 400 seats the synagogue is nestled within a residential block constructed during the 1920s.

Frankel is a Neolog synagogue—a uniquely Hungarian stream of Judaism. While men and women sit separately, there is no physical divider (mechitza). Services are conducted in Hebrew, with a brief sermon delivered in Hungarian. The liturgy follows the Ashkenazi nusach, incorporating both Ashkenazi and Sephardic pronunciation elements.

The Frankel Synagogue is renowned for its warm, inclusive, and tolerant community. Led by Rabbi Tamás Verő and Cantor Gergő Nógrádi, the congregation offers a meaningful and welcoming Shabbat experience for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
