Prague - Klausen Synagogue Klauzova Synagóga

The Klausen Synagogue (Klauzova Synagóga), located near the entrance to the Old Jewish Cemetery, dates to the 17th Century. The exhibition is entitled "Jewish Customs and Traditions, Part I: The Synagogue and Holidays" and is part of the Jewish Museum in Prague's Josefov area. As the name of the exhibit suggests the Klausen Synagogue discusses Jewish traditions, including weekday services, the Sabbath, and holidays, as well as the calendar in the Jewish tradition.

A basic familiarization with Judaism is presented through topics which include the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Torah scroll, and associated items such as pointer, mantle, binder, and others. Other Jewish traditions, which include bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, marriage, and more, are also explained. The Klausen Synagogue offers a very informative introduction to Judaism.
