Connection, Memory, and Women's Lives at the Jewish Museum Franken
A biblical phrase about loyalty, belonging, and walking together gives this special reading its name: Where you go, I will go. On February 14, 2027, the series Reading in the Lounge at the Jewish Museum Franken in Fürth invites you to an emotional literary encounter.
A Literary Journey Through Jewish Women's Perspectives
Sabine Forkel-Kutschka focuses on classical and modern images of women from a Jewish perspective. Narratives as well as selected passages from letters and diaries of and about Jewish women from the 19th and 20th centuries open a multifaceted panorama of female life plans.
The focus is on women between tradition and new beginnings, adaptation and resistance. Mothers and daughters, working women and housewives, wives and lovers, rebels and saviors are made visible in their diverse experiences. The reading connects memory culture, literature, and spiritual questions of origin, responsibility, and connection.
Ruth and Naomi: A Story of Loyalty
The title refers to the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi. Ruth decides to accompany her mother-in-law and embark on a new path with her. The verses from the Book of Ruth speak of loyalty, shared life stories, and the willingness to understand home, people, and faith anew.
This opens up a space for religious experience and quiet reflection. The Jewish perspective on women's lives encounters literary creativity and invites contemplation on relationships, faith practices, identity, and social change.
Atmospheric Reading and Shared Resonance
Sabine Forkel-Kutschka is a theater and media scholar and shapes her readings as atmospherically dense productions. With a fine sensitivity for language and mood, she brings the texts to life. The audience can expect an intense auditory experience, where voice, memory, and literary images come together for a unique community experience.
Afterwards, the cozy museum kitchen opens up a space for encounters. Over cake and a drink of choice, the impressions of the reading can be reflected upon in a relaxed setting. Thus, the cultural event connects with conversation, contemplation, and lived community.
