From 9 December 2026 at the Judiska Museum
At 19 Själagårdsgatan, where Sweden’s current Jewish Museum is situated, there once stood an old synagogue, the structural remains of which can still be seen supporting the museum. This synagogue was a focal point of Jewish life for nearly a century, between 1795 and 1870. ‘Shul’, the Yiddish term often used to refer to a synagogue, actually refers to a school, as study was just as important as prayer in this place of worship. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through this era, exploring how Swedish Jews prayed, studied, lived and worked in the nineteenth century.
