The Great Synagogue, also known as Doh??ny Street Synagogue (Nagy Zsinag??ga or Doh??ny utcai Zsinag??ga) or Tabakgasse Synagogue, is located in downtown Budapest. It is the largest synagogue in Eurasia and the second largest in the world, after the Temple Emanu-El. The synagogue is 75m long and 27m wide, and was built between 1854 and 1859 in the Moorish Revival style, based chiefly on Moorish models from North Africa and Spain, by German Ludwig F??rster, with some interior design by Frigyes Feszl. The monumental synagogue has a capacity of 2,964 seats (1,492 for men and 1,472 in the women???s galleries). The consecration of the synagogue took place on September 6, 1859. Doh??ny Street itself, a leafy street in the city centre, carries strong Holocaust connotations as it constituted the border of the Budapest Ghetto during the Second World War. A large reconstruction, funded largely by a 5 million dollar donation from Hungarian Jewish immigrant Est??e Lauder, was completed in 1996.
