a picture from the neighboring district

On Friday morning we went out to our favorite nearby nursery garden to supplement the small bushes of the hedge which died out in the summer (one was stolen, two broken out, for three the drought was too much). At Tahi Street there were also some which did not stand the training.
Unfortunately we have seen that the bushes were mainly sold out, and no spindle-berry – which we wanted to buy – was on sale. Bernadett says that they would not even order any more until spring, since they only could do it in large quantities, but soon the season of pines is here. So we will return in the spring, or maybe we will ask Laci to bring some.
However, there is plenty of bird food, and tulip bulbs, which we will urgently buy for the city tulip expansion!

But so that we came not in vain, we walked out in front of the neighboring lot, Régi Fóti Street 77, to see the former synagogue which looked like this from the adjacent nursery:


And from the other side somehow like this:

It was built in 1926-27 by the Orthodox Jewish community of Rákospalota. In 1926 they published a small prayer book in Hebrew, by the purchase of which one could contribute to the construction costs. It also contains the façade drawing of the building which at that time existed only on the drawing board.

The community was able to use the building for less than seventeen years. After the holocaust it was deserted. In the 1980s it was purchased by the National Széchényi Library. In addition to the store of extra copies, a book restoring workshop also works here.


Its most beautiful photo is on Fortepan:


The photo was taken in the late 30s, more or less from the location of the current Penny Market. The masses of land and stones probably indicate the cemetery which was wiped off just at that time.
