Queerness and gender in Judaism

Using examples from religious texts and modern conflicts within Jewish groups, the tour will explore, among other things, the history of queerness in Judaism. They will also examine the lives of queer Jews, such as resistance fighter Herbert Budzidzslawski and social worker Hannah Karminski. Both lived, loved, and fought very close to the building.



The tour will take you through the New Synagogue in Berlin and the surrounding area in the Spandau suburb, where it will focus not only on the traditional role of women in Judaism, but also on Jewish women like Regina Jonas. As the first female rabbi in world history, Regina Jonas not only fought for new freedom of action but also broke existing boundaries.


Meeting point:

In the entrance area of the New Synagogue – Oranienburger Str. 28-30, 10117 Berlin
