8 November 2022, Old Synagogue Erfurt

The exhibition was conceived by the research group Beyond the Elite: Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe at the Hebrew University Jerusalem, led by Prof. Elisheva Baumgarten. Based on the group‘s research results, seven Israeli artists created contemporary works that address the various aspects regarding the daily life of Jewish communities in medieval Ashkenaz. Curated by Dr. Ido Noy, the exhibition is on view for the first time outside Jerusalem – at the Old Synagogue Erfurt, where it will enter into dialogue with the authentic evidence of medieval Jewish everyday life in the permanent exhibition.
