Budapest’s Vasvári Pál Street Synagogue (1061 Budapest, Terézváros, Vasvári Pál u. 5.) lays out a full slate of prayer times and learning for 2026, led by Rabbi Baruch Oberlander, the synagogue’s leader and the founder of Chabad in Hungary. “This building was built for worship and in honor of the Torah by the leaders of the Budapest Sász Chevra. Sász Chevra means Talmud Association, so there’s a strong emphasis on learning,” he says.
