Queerness and Gender in Judaism – Guided Tour & City Walk

Drawing on examples from religious texts and modern conflicts within Jewish communities, this tour explores, among other topics, the history of queerness in Judaism.

It also examines the lives of queer Jews, such as resistance fighter Herbert Budzidzslawski and social worker Hannah Karminski. Both lived, loved, and fought very close to this building.

The tour takes you through the Neue Synagoge Berlin and the surrounding area in Spandauer Vorstadt, where the focus is 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 opportunities but also broke down existing barriers.

  • Meeting point: 2:00 p.m. in front of the New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum
