“We think it is important to provide, as in Budapest, more and more places in the countryside, not only with programmes related to faith and Judaism, but also with kosher meals. Especially if it means a quality restaurant like Hamsa,”

said Slomó Köves, Chief Rabbi of the EMIH – Hungarian Jewish Federation.

“There will be no Hungarian food on the menu, because I wanted to create something that is completely new in the Debrecen, and I hope in the national gastronomic offer,” Ahron Faigen, creative chef at Hamsza, who was given the task in Debrecen a few months ago, said ambitiously.

The restaurant will be open from 5 PM to 10 PM from Monday to Thursday and from 12 PM to 10 PM on Sundays. The Jewish House, designed by the EMIH, will host cultural and faith-related programmes, as well as classrooms and a playroom. The centre will also provide space for social and charitable activities.
