JEWISH WORLD: Renewing a synagogue is always a good thing. It cannot be made for the occasional tourist or even streams of tourists, who are not the ones to stay and keep the community going.

Budapest is an increasingly popular tourist destination for Israelis drawn by round-trip fares as low as NIS 260 for the three-hour direct flight from Tel Aviv.
