Living Tradition: Discover Jewish Holidays and Rites in the Franconian Context
In a mindful atmosphere, this 90-minute museum tour opens up a deep experience of faith. Visitors experience spiritual community, hear about lived liturgy, and feel the tranquility of a house that breathes Jewish history.
Spiritual Paths Through a Historic Residence
At the Jewish Museum Franconia in Fürth, the tour takes you through original preserved living spaces. The religious experience intensifies at two authentic locations: the mikveh in the basement and the sukkah in the interior. Both places make Jewish faith practice and holiday traditions tangible.
Understanding Holidays, Experiencing Rites
With expert introduction, you will encounter Jewish holidays such as Shabbat, Passover, or Sukkot. Liturgical objects from the Judaica collection provide concrete insights into prayer, blessings, and household rituals. Theology, history, and everyday piety combine to create a meaningful, inclusive encounter.
Franconian Judaism in Context
Fürth is considered the Franconian center of Jewish life. The tour places religious traditions in the region: from scholarship and printing presses to community life and today's culture of remembrance. This creates an informed picture between religious practice, cultural history, and modern Jewish presence.
