The lecture: "Symbolism in Objects and Textiles in the Synagogue in Trondheim"

At the Synagogue in Trondheim, we have collected numerous textiles and items used in our religious daily life for over 125 years. For example, a Torah scroll and our Talmud date back to the first Jews who immigrated here from Eastern Europe around the turn of the last century. Over time, more textiles and items have been added, such as tallit, challah covers, kippahs, tablecloths, Passover covers, and many others. Symbols are used in the decorations, which is a tradition worldwide and thus found in most synagogues. In this lecture, you will hear about the background of the traditional symbolism of the items and textiles found in our synagogue. Their use will also be explained, and examples will be shown.

The lecture is by Henriette Kahn and Nikolai Vollik.

Entrance: 100,-
