Change of Perspective: Jewish Views on Christianity in Fürth

Change of Perspective on World Religion Day: Jewish Views on Christianity

In dignified silence, a faith experience begins, appealing to heart and mind: A one-hour tour at the Jewish Museum of Franconia opens a respectful dialogue between Judaism and Christianity – with space for reflection, spiritual community, and new insights.

Sensorial Impressions: Calm, Resonance, Resonance Spaces

Between historical living spaces, an atmospheric sukkah, and the mikvah, a spiritual atmosphere unfolds. Visitors experience religious experience with all senses: the calm of the exhibition rooms, the clarity of well-conducted explanations, the communal listening and questioning.

Expertly Grounded: Liturgy, Theology, and Lived Tradition

The museum director of the Bible Museum Nuremberg (Bible Museum Bavaria), Astrid Seichter, and Alisha Meininghaus, curator for education and mediation at the Jewish Museum of Franconia, illuminate theological contexts, liturgical history, and faith practice. They show similarities, misunderstandings, and mutual influences – from the image of the 'mother religion' to Jewish perspectives on Christianity.

The Jewish Museum of Franconia in Fürth preserves traces of Franconian-Jewish life. The new building is barrier-free, the old building is conditionally barrier-free (mikvah and sukkah only accessible via stairs).
