Teleki tér couple - Menachem ben Gershon Hahn and Lea Bat Zvi Hakohen Frost
- I received the letter of Michael Miller with great joy, in which he ask every one ,who can to send him pictures and experiences about the Teleki Tér Shul.
My name is Yechiel Arie Hahn (originally Hahn István György), and I had my Bar Mizva in October 1945 in this very shul!!
Both my grandparents were praying in this shul (and most of their fammilies) for decades!
R. Gershon ben Yechiel Arie Hahn and R. Hemann Zvi HaKohen Frost arrived to Budapest in the beginning of the 20th century and went to pray there all their life!
As I can recall, they were sitting next to each other (in the Mizrach wall bench). R. Zvi Frost, (my grandfather from my mother’s side) sat next to the Aron Hakodesh and next to him set R. Gershon .
This is a very important fact, because what happened was, that my father, Menachem (Manó) ben Gershon, after spending 8 years in Paris came home to get married. When grandfather Frost heard that, he turned to he neighbour, (Gershon Hahn) and told him, he had a marriageable daughter – and this could be a “party”…
And so it was!! My Father (Menachem ben Gershon Hahn) married my Mother (Lea Bat Zvi Hakohen Frost) in 1931 and I was born in the October of 1932.
Looking back – in a way I can thank my birth (also) to this shul.
