Religion and Ritual: Shavout
Public Tour
In this special edition of our Religion and Ritual tour, we focus on Shavuot, the Jewish harvest festival – literally “the Festival of Weeks” – which in 2026 is celebrated on May 22 and 23.
We will also take a closer look at the Torah, the sacred scripture of Judaism. From an early age, children around the world learn the Hebrew alphabet so that they can read the Torah. Visitors will learn more about the significance of this sacred text for Jews today and how it is interpreted. A sounding world map introduces Jewish languages that developed throughout the diaspora.
In the installation Why Follow the Law, Jewish individuals speak about their personal relationship with religious commandments. Objects and everyday items tell stories about Jewish religious practice, such as the Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) or the commandment of charity (tzedakah). A flamenco dress, a sewing cushion, and a crown offer insights into the diversity within Judaism.
