Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor

The Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor will be hosting an informative exhibition of the most important Jewish holy books and secular literature for this year’s Jewish Year of the Book. This will be the first such exhibition in the Slovenian language, which will, on the one hand, introduce visitors to the Synagogue Maribor to the importance of Jewish literature for the development of Jewish thought, belief, and tradition, and on the other hand, present some of the most prominent Jewish writers.

The panel-type exhibition will be prepared in such a way that each panel will present an independent thematic content, which, in conjunction with the remaining chapters, will also provide insight into the broader context of the chosen theme of the European Days of Jewish Culture “The People of the Book”.

The authors of the exhibition are Boris Hajdinjak and Marjetka Bedrač.

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
