Bethlen Square Synagogue
The synagogue is located inside the former Jewish Institute for the Deaf, Budapest (Hungarian: Izraelita Siketnémák Budapesti Országos Intézete) building, that is now part of the Budapest campus of McDaniel College, a U.S. liberal arts college.
History
The institute building was completed in 1876. In 1944, the institute closed as a result of World War II. The institute's building has long since become a synagogue and center of Jewish community.
Izrael Zachariah Deutsch was a student at the institute, from around the time of the Holocaust. Dezső Kanizsai was a teacher at the institute, from 1907.
