JEWISH MONUMENTS IN SÁTORALJAÚJHELY
The Jewish Community Center, Teitelbaum Museum
31 Kossuth Lajos Street
Under the funding program for the development and protection of ecclesiastical cultural heritage and also with funding from the EU, the Chevra Kadisha Organization in Sátoraljaújhely established the Berkovitz- Bettelheim Jewish Community Center in Zemplén.
The modern, fully renovated community center was developed on the two lower levels of the impressive three-story building of the former Zemplén County Financial Directorate. The community center can accommodate 73 people in 27 double, 3 triple, and 3 four-bed rooms. On each level, there is a kitchenette and common rooms fashioned to harmonize with Jewish traditions. The building also includes separate prayer rooms for men and women. Catering for visitors and pilgrims can be provided in the dining room, which can seat 100 people.
The building is also home to a small Mózes Teitelbaum Museum, where the life and work of the wonder-working rabbi of Sátoraljaújhely are presented, including his role in establishing Hasidism in Hungary.
The monumental sculpture “Ancient Hungarian Settlers” by Zsigmond Kisfaludy Strobl is exhibited on the roof of the community center.
