Temporary Exhibition – By the Light of the Torah

In the Light of the Torah – Diverse Orthodox Jewish Life Before the Era of Peril

On Sunday, March 15, at 3:00 PM, an exciting exhibition will open in the synagogue, presenting the Orthodox Jewish world before the Holocaust. The exhibition is a traveling exhibition of the HDKE – Holocaust Documentation Center and Memorial Collection, supplemented by the history and documents of the former Orthodoxy of Szeged.

The aim of the exhibition is to provide a closer look at the worldview of Orthodox Judaism and to challenge prejudicial images, with particular attention to everyday life and community traditions.
