Exhibition: People of the Book – Jewish Literature and Its Legacy

On the occasion of this year’s European Days of Jewish Culture, the Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor presents an informative exhibition dedicated to the most important Jewish sacred texts and secular works. This is the first exhibition of its kind in Slovenia, highlighting both the role of Jewish literature in shaping Jewish thought, faith, and tradition, and introducing visitors to some of the most prominent Jewish writers.

The exhibition consists of thematic panels, each exploring a specific aspect of Jewish literature. Together, they provide a comprehensive overview that resonates with the EDJC 2025 theme, “People of the Book.” All materials are also available in English, making the exhibition suitable for touring within Slovenia and abroad.

The visitors of all ages: locals and international visitors are welcome.
The event is organized in partnership with the Maribor Public Library and the Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana.

The event is part of the Cities Embracing Jewish Heritage initiative supported by the Combat Antisemitism Movement and the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage
