[From back cover] The Dohany street synagogue was built between 1854 and 1859 by Ludwig Forster to fit the needs of a progressive religious approach. The Building is spectacular primarily because of its monumental size and the elegance and richness of its interior design: this is the largest functioning synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. The idea of an independent exhibition made up of mostly Jewish religios objects came up for the first time during the 1896 millennial celebrations, when the Jewish religion was presented among the historic religions of Hungary. The collection of about 1,500 pieces found its final home in 1932 in the building constructed next to the Dohany street synagogue. The institution currently operates under the auspices of the Alliance of Jewish Communities in Hungary. Its rich collection of Judaica makes it the second largest Jewish museum in Europe. The foreword of the book was written by retired Chief Rabbi Dr Jozsef Schweitzer. Contents include: Speaking Stones. Crying Stones; The Short History of the Dohany Street Synagogue; The Jewish Museum; The Brief History of the Jewish Museum; The Synagogue; The Torah; Shabbat; The Siddur (prayer book); The High Holy Days; Rosh Hashanah; Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement; The Feast of Tabernacles: Sukkoth; Pesach; The Feast of the Weeks: Shavouth; The Post-Torah Festivals; Purim; Chanukkah; Weekdays; Birth; Marriage; The Jewish Home; Farewell.

The rich tradition and profound spirituality of Judaism has touched people the world over for thousands of years. With the arrival in the Near East of Alexander the Great and the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, the synagogue came to represent a new era of this powerful religion, one which witnessed a greater emphasis on shared religious experience and prayer. In turn, the synagogue, derived from the Greek, meaning an "assembly," has come to mean the Jewish house of worship, evolving into a "sacred realm," in which the Torah came to play a central role linking the biblical past with the messianic future. Of course, the synagogue has been much more that a house of worship--it served the Jewish people as a place of learning, a community center, and often as the official seat of Jewish self-government. Indeed, it is the institution most closely associated with the development of post-biblical Judaism throughout the ages. Sacred Realm: The Emergence of the Synagogue in the Ancient World offers the first comprehensive history of the architectural and archaeological development of the synagogue from the third century BCE to 700 CE. Telling the story of over one hundred ancient synagogues throughout the world and their place in the history of Judaism and of Western civilization, this book provides a fascinating representation of the cultural, intellectual, and artistic achievements of three thousand years of Jewish experience. Informative essays detail every aspect of the ancient synagogue, while beautiful illustrations and maps take the reader to the actual historic site.; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; 203 pages.…
