Gala ceremony to mark the 200th anniversary of the synagogue in Ingwiller.
Inauguration of the restored synagogue on the island of Kos.
A new Ark and Bimah and other interior furnishings have been installed and — after decades out of its original use — the building will be rededicated as an active house of Jewish worship.
The Kos synagogue was built in the mid-1930s to replace an older synagogue that was destroyed in an earthquake in April 1933. It was abandoned after the near-total destruction of the circa 120 member Jewish community during the Holocaust, and then was purchased by the Municipality around 1984 and used as a local cultural centre.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and other civic and Jewish VIPs will speak at or attend the inauguration of the new Synagogue center, designed by the architect Jost Haberland. The state of Brandenburg provided around €16.5 million to finance the construction. The cornerstone was laid in 2021..
A day workshops, lectures, and dance across the Jewish Old City – and a festive open-air concert outside the Old Synagogue, featuring simkhat hanefesh, Caravan Orchestra & Choir, and more, to celebrate the first anniversary of Medieval Jewish Erfurt being included on UNESCO’s roster of World Heritage.
The events is part of the program of this year’s Yiddish Summer Weimar festival, which runs from July 12 to August 17.
