Thank you for this video. I'd love to be able to come to Hungary one day to have a tour with you showing me these places of extreme interest. Continue to teach people the history 🙏
Thanks me and my dad are taking a big trip together soon and this will be an important tour to make. Looking forward badly with all I’ve seen of the city. Cheers!
penguins inadiorama lol what? By that standard, EVERYONE in every country is an immigrant except for central Africans who still live in central Africa. Get over myself? Get a brain!
penguins inadiorama the Hungarians evolved in Central Asia and brutalized their way into Europe. Humanity in general evolved originally in Africa. The Jews have made an outsized contribution to Hungary - economically and culturally, for hundreds of years. Don’t whine and blame them for your current predicament. Your jealousy is showing.
Most people do not know that the Jews were in Hungary before there even was a Hungary and way before the Magyars arrived. You are right, Jews were hardly "immigrants".
Nice video Levi. Iam interested in jewish culture. Can I ask whether its allowed me to enter that synagouge to enjoy the arcitucture?!. Iam from iraq and studying here in Budapest.
Shalom ,Levi I am an Jewish dude ,living in the Jewish quarter of Budapest however what I would like to ask at this juncture is do you know my very good friend Zsolt Budai who works for the main synagogue tours office ? His a tourist guide for the Jewish quarter too . Shalom David Cohen
Hey Levi! Found your channel through your experience on AirBnb, really cool stuff here! I run some also in Genova, Italy, related to photogprahy, videography and culture :) I'm coming in September to Budapest, might come to your tour, see ya!
This is a bit off topic- but I am just wondering... My uncle did an extensive ancestry search online and posted it on genie. He passed away and there are no other family members from whom I can get information. My mother was from Budapest, Dunabogdany specifically. There are last names of Frenkel, Lehotzky, and first names of Zsigmond and Samuel among my great and great-great grandparents. My mother and uncle denied Jewish heritage, but I am really wondering! They were born in 1926 and 1930 respectively, so I wonder if they converted or hid their heritage because of the political times. Incidentally, my last name is from my Spanish husband. My mother's maiden name was Ujhelyi, my grandmother's, Edenburg, and then the last names Frenkel and Lehotzky appear among my great and great-great grandparents. Also the male first names of Zsigmond and Samuel. I will be doing a DNA test soon, but was wondering if there is such a thing as exclusive Jewish names in relation to country and time period. This would have been in the 1800's
Frenkel is pretty typical Jewish name. Edenburg could be German. Samuel, Zsigmond maybe. Ujhelyi seems like a newly minted Hungarian name. Likely they had a German name before. Lehotzky is Slavic but can be anything. I think most Jews had German names, only a few Hebrew like Kohn, Spiro or Loewy. Then many changed it to Hungarian names. So under a Hungarian or German sounding name you can find almost anybody, Hungarian, German, Jew, anybody. With the exception of echte Jewish names, not much could I guess. We are pretty mixed up here. I am no expert though. Check the net or archives.
@@ThatLeviGuy I was referring to the Jewish communities that were in the land we know know as Hungary before the Magyars arrived. My point is that the Jews were there long the Middle Ages. I'm not trying to negate the Magyars, just pointing out a tiny factoid that manny people people are unaware of. Blaybn gezunt :)
No you were not. Before the Magyar tribes conquered Hungary there was the indigenous population that still inhabits Hungary. Respectively we are genetically indigenous and you are not and you never were during Roman occupation of Pannonia.
What other type of tours are you interested usually? Check out my tours at budapest-today.com

My Grandparents, Hungarian Jews, fled Hungary and were refugees. They arrived in Australia with nothing, and rebuilt their lives from the ground up.

The Jews in Budapest in the early 20th century were not “immigrants”. They had lived in Hungary for hundreds of years.

You guys are Both right

I would have liked to see more of the Jewish Quarter but this video was all about the guide with only occasional quick shots of the Jewish Quarter.
Thanks ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I'll break the news to you, the Jewish people were in Hungary from BEFORE it was Hungary. They arrived BEFORE there Magyars.
