Community and Place: Jewish Prayer Houses in Kraków (PL)

26.06.2024 - 11:00 / Galicia Jewish Museum, ul. Dajwór 18 (starting point)

“Shema Israel” – the words of this prayer are the essence of Judaism and the basics of faith. We would like to invite you to a guided tour through places related to prayer and the religious life of Kraków Jews. A synagogue, a tempel, a kloiz, a shtibl or bet ha-midrash – these words describe different places where Jewish communities used to pray. There were more than a hundred of them in pre-war Kraków, but were they all as grand as those on Szeroka Street? Were they as crowded? Were they all located within what we call “the Jewish Quarter”? We would like to invite you on a walking tour to the places connected with Jewish religious life, during which you will hear the stories about both the most well-known and completely forgotten Jewish houses of prayer in Kraków.

Space is limited (30).
