Throughout the year, we receive emails with questions about Jewish life in Germnay. This holiday season we encourage all those in Berlin area to explore your community and get plugged into your local history.
The following a list of my favorite spots and activities. Comments and additional suggestions are warmly appreciated.
Chanukka/Weihnachtsmarkt at the Berlin Jewish Museum
For reform services, I recommend the historic synoguage on Oranienburger strass in Mitte.
For Jewish tours and an interesting historical perspective, Sue Arns.
Here is a link to Berlin's Jewish Community Center, which also has a library for family research and an adult education center (they teach german, yiddish, hebrew etc.).
For a historical perspective on the city, in general, I recommend the Berlin Underground Tours.
There are also many political organizations that combat right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism in Berlin.
Thank you so much for your interest in the Berlin Revival project. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season.
Best,
Berlin Revival
