Virtual Walking Tour: Exploring Connections Between Jewish Berlin and Jewish Odessa

We could spend weeks in Berlin exploring Jewish history and culture there, but for this livestreamed walking tour, we will explore the Jewish quarter formerly in East Berlin, where we will visit the old Jewish cemetery (Alter Judischer Friedhof) and the reconstructed New Berlin synagogue. We will also discuss Berlin Jews through the history of the Jewish Enlightenment movement, known as the Haskalah and the connections between the Jews of Berlin and Odessa, both unique centers of that movement in the 1800s. Soak in the history, the culture, and the ambiance of Berlin’s trendy city center known as “Mitte.”

Please note: The Museum’s virtual walking tours are live-only events and will not be available to watch after the event is over. Also, event times are in Eastern time; use this time zone converter to see what time it will be in the city being toured.
