Summary/Abstract: The world of this study is the religious-ritual sphere of Hungarian Jewish culture. The different Jewish rituals carry certain basic meanings for the members of the given community through the tradition of Jewish culture. These rituals have basic importance for the members of the community as a means of experiencing their culture. This phenomenon becomes a part of a more general process, the cultural change of the present Hungarian Jewish community. The strengthening position of the synagogue in Jewish ritual life has numerous effects on the cultural changes of the Jewish community.
