[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.…

Brochure, 13,5*20,5 cm. Etat : Gut. 80 pp., ill. A good and very clean copy. - Kazimierz, today a district of Krakow, in the past was a separate town, independent of the royal city. It lost its independent status in the late 18lh c. Because of its history and its present transformation, it is one of the most interesting parts of Krakow. Throughout several centuries its history was overwhelmingly influenced by the close neighbourhood of Christians and Jews who lived here side by side, filling the town with the rhythm of their everyday life, beliefs, traditions and tastes. Each of the two communities left its mark on the towns layout and architecture. It is true that today Kazimierz's architecture is often anything but beautiful. Fortunately, however, one can still sense the special atmosphere of the sacred in the shadow of churches, monasteries, synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in the midst of today's everyday hustle. Every year Kazimierz witnesses church events, Christian processions and pilgrimages of the Hasidim to the graves of great rabbis. Christian saints - St. Bishop Stanislaw the martyr, St Brother Albert, Blessed Stanislaw Kazimierczyk and Izajasz Boner, as well as Jewish pious rabbis Moses Isserles (Remuh), Natan Shapira (Megalleh Ammukot), Kalman Epstein (Maor va-Shemesh) and others are still venerated. - Contents: On the island -- The foundation of the town -- The Kazimierz Academy -- The Churches of Kazimierz -- The Jews in Kazimierz -- The town's decline and stagnation in the 17,h and the 18th c. -- The 19th c. - back to the path of development -- The inter-war period 1918-1939 -- Nazi occupation 1939-1945 -- The contemporary era -- Historic buildings in the Jewish town -- The Old Synagogue -- The Remuh Synagogue -- The Old Cemetery -- The High Synagogue -- Wolf Popper's Synagogue -- Kupah Synagogue -- Isaac's Synagogue -- Progressive Synagogue -- The New Cemetery -- The seat of the kehilla -- The streets of Jewish Kazimierz -- Estery Street -- Izaaka Street -- Jakuba Street -- Jozefa Street -- Kupa Street -- Lewkowa Street -- Miodowa Street -- Rabina Meiselsa Street -- Szeroka Street -- Jonatana Warszauera Street -- Historic landmarks in Christian Kazimierz -- Church of St Michael the Archangel and Stanislaw the Bishop on Skalka -- The Paulite Monastery -- St Stanislaw's pond -- The Crypt of the Meritorious -- The Corpus Christi Church -- The Monastery of the Lateran Regular Canons -- The Church of St Catherine of Alexandria and St Margaret -- The Augustinian Monastery -- The Church of the Holy Trinity -- The Monastery and hospital of the Brothers Hospitallers -- The Town Hall -- Streets and squares -- Augustianska Street -- Bochenska Street -- Bozego Ciala Street -- Sw.
