Jewish Music in all its Diversity in the Core Exhibition
From the chanting of the Talmudic period to contemporary compositions – music and sounds play a part in both religious and secular Jewish life. In the Musicroom in our exhibition you can immerse yourself in a service of worship, hear the sound of a shofar, and listen to centuries-old and modern music.
