About this talk
Join us for a virtual journey through today's Hungary and discover the rich Jewish heritage still present in many villages and cities. By exploring synagogues, cemeteries, and museums, we will discover the very early remains, from the Roman period to the Middle Ages. We will find remnants from the Ottoman Empire and witness the growth of the Ashkenazi community under the Austrian Empire.
In this unique journey, we will explore what survived outside of Budapest after the Holocaust and the fall of communism. We will visit Sopron, Esztergom, Pécs, and other smaller towns. We will learn about the Hasidic pilgrimage area in the northeast. Finally, guest speaker and researcher Dóra Pataricza will guide us through the remarkable synagogue of Szeged and share stories about its community.

While completing her master's, she worked actively in different Jewish organizations in Budapest, as a project coordinator of youth programs, and took an active role in a grassroots, egalitarian community for young Jews in Budapest. Introducing Jewish life to diverse audiences has become her passion, and the connections she has made through her experience brought about the idea of Qesher.
