Tohuwabohu under the Dome! A Journey Through the Synagogue and Jewish Berlin From 1866 to Today (Guided Tour in English)

„Tohuwabohu“ is one of the first phrases in the Torah, describing the formless primordial state of the universe before creation. Long established in everyday German to mean „chaotic“ or „confusion,“ „Tohuwabohu“ also became the title of Sammy Gronemann’s successful novel depicting the various facets of Jewish life in Berlin around the turn of the 20th century. Today, it is a fitting title for our overview tour through the turbulent history of our institution. We explore the past and present of the New Synagogue Berlin, from the first time its doors were open to the public, the visit of Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, to its destruction in the Second World War and subsequent reconstruction around the period of Reunification. Along the way, we encounter courageous police officers, prophets, rabbis, and explore stories literally inscribed on the walls and objects of the New Synagogue.

Meeting point: 12:30 a.m. at the cash desk in the museum.
** Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour begins, as the security check at the entrance can take some time. **

Meeting point: Representatives' Hall
