Masorti - Hungary

Hungary

In 2010 there was only one synagogue formally linked with Masorti Olami - Dor Chadash in Budapest. However there are Neolog congregations in Hungary which are strikingly similar to Masorti synagogues, for instance Bét Salom Zsinagóga with Rabbi Zoltán Radnóti who trained in the Neolog seminary in Budapest. In this synagogue, there is an upstairs tier reserved for women, who also at their option sit downstairs. Women participate in the service and bimah activities but are not called up to read from the Torah. Other Neolog synagogues such as the well-known Dohány Street Synagogue, in Budapest are of a different character.
