Judaism Aloud
An Audible and Palpable Tour for Visitors with Blindness or Limited Vision
What does Judaism sound like? The experience begins with Jewish pop music and the sounds of singing at a synagogue. The group will then discuss what makes music Jewish. The tour of the core exhibition considers religion and rituals through a variety of sensory stimuli.
Visitors will touch or smell objects and listen in at audio stations, which give a tangible experience of the polyphony of Jewish culture and religion: How are Hebrew letters shaped? What is the structure of a synagogue? What does Shabbat smell like? The participants will be introduced to a variety of traditions and religious interpretations within Judaism and familiarize themselves with the dietary laws.
