Many traditions of modern Judaism appear to be time-honoured and deeply rooted in the religion. The separation of men and women within the synagogue is also often regarded as a self-evident practice. Yet a closer look reveals that behind many of these customs lies a long history of development shaped by cultural and historical influences.
Dr Friederike Schöpf, a recognised expert on ancient Judaism, medieval synagogues and the development of the women’s section in the synagogue at the Institute for Jewish Studies at the University of Münster, will trace the origins and development of women’s synagogues in her hybrid lecture and open up new perspectives on religious life in the SchUM communities through these special places.
Please register by email by 12 noon on 30 March: anmeldung@gdke.rlp.de. For online participation, the access link will be sent by email after the registration deadline.
