history
The synagogue in Novi Sad was designed by the Hungarian-Jewish architect Lipót Baumhorn and was the fifth in the city's history. It was built on the site of an older synagogue from around 1826. There were also two buildings on either side of the synagogue; one served as a Jewish elementary school - today the Middle Ballet School in Novi Sad - the other building served the Jewish community of the Ashkenazim , who also owned the synagogue. The synagogue mixes several architectural styles and is very reminiscent of the synagogue in Szeged , which is considered to be the high point of Baumhorn's work. At the entrance is written in Hebrew "Ki beti, bet tefila ikara l'kol haamim" (Eng. "For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations", Isaiah 56: 7). The Second World War , when Jews were imprisoned here before they were further deported to concentration camps, marks a sad period in the history of the synagogue . The synagogue has been a listed building since 1991 .
