Its structure is reminiscent of a Catholic church<\/strong>, since the Jewish<\/a> community<\/strong> was very integrated to the Hungarian populatio<\/strong>n and they did not want their temple to be a differentiating element. It must be taken into account that at the beginning of the 20th century the Jewish community constituted 23% of the population of Budapest<\/strong>. For these reasons some elements were added that are not found in a common synagogue.<\/span><\/p>\n
