- Join me on my Budapest Jewish Quarter walking tour at budapest-today.com/tour/moder...
You probably know the Budapest Jewish district for it's ruin pubs (Szimpla Kert, Fogasház, Instant), night life and gozsdu udvar party district. But there is more to that than this, and it is a very important part of the history of Budapest.
You might think that I am Jewish, based on my name. Sorry to disappoint, but I am not. My name Levi is short for Levente, which is a Hungarian name.
However, I did study a lot of Jewish history and culture, and have been immersed into how they were instrumental to the development of Budapest as a city. Because of that, this is one of my favourite tours to do.
My passion is to teach and share my stories and knowledge with people. I love to talk and I would love for you to listen and join me on this or any of my other tours. Budapest is a vibrant and trendy city now and I would love to show you my take.

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

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 🙏

You are awesome
Are you still leading tours ? The link isn’t working. How can we contact you?
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.
The Jews in Budapest in the early 20th century were not “immigrants”. They had lived in Hungary for hundreds of years.
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!
You guys are Both right
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.
Hey PI your phuken nazi, black shirt white, brown all the same. Your a bigot and your country will become commie again under Orban. Hope you suffer!
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".
Az Ur aldja meg a nepet mindoroke , amen!
Hello Levi, what is your favorite Hungarian football team ?
the one that could win without embarrassing itself :)
Am there 4th April 😊
I think I'm in love 💕
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.
Im Hungarian Jewish ❤
Thanks ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Love Budapest ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll break the news to you, the Jewish people were in Hungary from BEFORE it was Hungary. They arrived BEFORE there Magyars.
check out my reply to Lagolop above!
@@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 :)
there is no jewish quarter in Budapest
