The Újpest Synagogue () is a Neolog Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 8 Berzeviczy Gergely Street, in Újpest, Budapest, Hungary. History Completed in 1866, designed in the Romanesque Revival and Moorish Revival styles, the synagogue holds 1,000 seats. Rabbi Sander Rosenberg from Arad officiated at the opening ceremony.

Their rift with the traditionalist and conservative Orthodox Jews was institutionalized following the 1868–1869 Hungarian Jewish Congress, and they became a separate communal organization.
