Public Tour

In a special edition of the guided tour "Religion and Ritual", we focus on Tu bi-Shevat, the New Year of the Trees, which is celebrated this year on 2 February.


They also take a look at the Torah, the sacred scripture of Judaism. From an early age, children around the world learn the Hebrew script in order to be able to read the Torah. Visitors will learn more about the significance of the sacred text for Jews today and how it is interpreted. A sound world map introduces visitors to Jewish languages that developed in the Diaspora.

In the installation Why Follow the Law, Jews talk about their personal approach to religious commandments. Objects and everyday items tell of Jewish life practices such as the Jewish dietary laws (Kashrut) or the commandment of charity (Zedaka). A flamenco dress, a sewing cushion and a crown provide insights into the diversity within Judaism.
