Description
   Rabbi L. Pollak was called to the temple in the Rombachgasse. Construction of the octagonal temple in Rombach Street was completed in 1872. ROMBACH SYNAGOGUE Completed in 1873, it was intended to be more traditional than the Neologue community but was never accepted by the orthodox. It was part of the Status Quo community that did not want a split in the Jewish community of Budapest. This community is more akin to our modern orthodox. The Rombach synagogue has been closed since 1944; what it will be used for in the future is unclear but it is hoped that it will be restored to its former glory.
