SUMMARY
=======
The Romaniote Jews or Romaniotes (Greek: Ῥωμανιῶτες, Rhōmaniṓtes; Hebrew: רומניוטים, Romanyotim) are an ethnic Jewish community native to the Eastern Mediterranean. They are generally one of the oldest Jewish communities in existence and specifically the oldest Jewish community in Europe. Their distinct language was Judaeo-Greek, a Greek dialect that contained Hebrew along with some Aramaic and Turkish words but now speak modern Greek or the languages of their new home countries. They derived their name from the old name for the people of the Byzantine Empire, Romaioi. Large communities were located in Thebes, Ioannina, Chalcis, Corfu, Arta, Preveza, Volos, Patras, Corinth, and on the islands of Zakynthos, Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Rhodes, and Cyprus, among others. The Romaniotes are historically distinct and still remain distinct from the Sephardim, who settled in Ottoman Greece after the 1492 expulsion of the Jews from Spain.
A majority of the Jewish population of Greece was killed in the Holocaust after Axis powers occupied Greece during World War II. They deported most of the Jews to Nazi concentration camps. After the war, a majority of the survivors emigrated to Israel, the United States, and Western Europe. Today there are still functioning Romaniote Synagogues in Chalkis which represents the oldest Jewish congregation on European ground, in Ioannina, Athens, New York and Israel.

A question is left open: why? Why did they renovate the synagogue? And if this will just be a house of prayer and not also a house that evokes better times and, as they say in Hebrew, Shalom, or peace, then all it will be is a cold monument.

STORYLINE
The Nazi Holocaust swept away two-thirds of the nearly one (m) million Jews who lived in Hungary on the eve of World War II, and many of those who survived fled during the 1956 uprising against Soviet rule after realising the communists were just as determined to stamp out their religion.
Sixty years after the Holocaust, the Hungarian village of Mad rededicated its Baroque style synagogue on Sunday.
In ruins after years of neglect, the synagogue was once the house of worship for Mad''s Jewish population - until 90 percent of them died after they were deported to Auschwitz.
Rabbi Laszlo Deutsch blessed the synagogue and the congregation.
His father was the last rabbi in Mad before he and his congregation were killed by the Nazis.
Mad is a town 220 kilometres (130 miles) east of Budapest, and was once a centre of Jewish learning.
But now, there are no Jews left here, so its synagogue will rarely be used as a temple.
Other synagogues renovated in Hungary have been turned into cultural centres with exhibitions on Jewish life before the war, but there are a few that are used by Jewish congregations.
Viktor Lowy, who now lives in Israel, was living in Budapest in 1944 when the Nazis rounded up his family - along with most of Mad''s Jewish population - before deporting them.
He brought his granddaughters - who don''t speak Hungarian but know the country''s history from their grandfather - to see the rededication of the synagogue where his family worshiped for generations.
The Lowy family''s name can be seen on the martyrs'' wall inside the temple.
At the end of the 19th century, more than 800 Jews lived in Mad and made up nearly 30 percent of the town''s population.
They arrived in the 1700s from Galicia, a region now split between Poland and Ukraine.
Most were traders, buying and selling Mad''s wines throughout central Europe.
Built in the 1770s in Baroque style, the synagogue is unusual because it has survived complete with its yeshiva, or school.
