Your excursion features stopovers at various public synagogues, including the Old-New Synagogue- the oldest operational Jewish temple in Europe. The Old-New Synagogue, a beautiful piece of early Gothic architecture in Prague, was finished around 1270.
The itinerary also includes the Old Jewish Cemetery, a 15th-century site which presents a unique chance to learn more about the funeral practices and traditions of the medieval era. Unbelievably, the cemetery houses approximately 100,000 bodies, yet only 12,000 gravestones are in sight!
During the course of your journey, you will develop a deeper understanding of the challenges that Jewish society contended with in Central Europe, as well as how Jewish adversity was eventually integrated into Prague’s intellectual movement in the 19th century.
