Synagogue, the Dohany Street
Synagogue that is presently be-
ing restored, that I was drawn.
And as at every other Jewish
house of worship that I have vis-
ited the world over, the security
was very tight.
The first thing I noticed was
the exquisite mosaic work on the
floor. Stairs leading to the large
ark are covered with Oriental
, rugs. On the eastern wall are pic-
1 —, tures with symbols of the 12
tribes. The anteroom is sur-
rounded by carved wooden rail-
ing with the pulpit in the center.
Behind is the Torah reader's
table; on the side, the ornate
chairs of the magistrates.
In the courtyard is a memori-
al plaque to the murdered Han-
na Senesh, who lived in Palestine
and volunteered to organize Jew-
ish resistance in Hungary; and a
short distance away is the Weep-
mg Willow Memorial on the spot
where the gate of the ghetto stood
and where several thousand
Jews share a common grave.
The monument in chromium
steel is shaped like a powerful
willow tree. Its trunk is an in-
verted menorah, the end of each
of the eight branches is marked
with a scar. New branches are
growing and around each new
shoot are 15-20 leaves. Names of
those who perished are engraved
on either side of the leaves. It was
set up by the Emmanuel Foun-
dation with the efforts of actor
Tony Curtis, a Jew of Hungari-
an descent who is the honorary
chairman.
I sat in the garden of the syn-
agogue on an unseasonably
warm day in May and watched
the early morning sun cast light
on the leaves of the memorial. It
was an affirmation. Communi-
ties do not survive on memories,
but rather on beliefs and the peo-
ple who hold them.
Now that there are synagogues
and Jewish organizations, kosher
restaurants and Jewish schools
in Budapest, it is apparent that
the thousand-year roots of Hun-
garian Jewry that were brutal-
ly cut and burnt see new growth.
As a Jew in a foreign land, I
once again felt a connection.
