Jewish material culture in the Volga region

The lecture presents the results of the research expedition of the Center for Jewish Art to the Volga River that took place in May and June 2021. It will deal with synagogues in the region as well as with Jewish cemeteries, mostly from the Soviet period, which show that Jewish (religious) identity was not completely subdued by the Communist empire.

The series is devoted to the history and architecture of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in the Russian Empire. It demonstrates how certain patterns of Jewish material culture were transferred from an area with a long Jewish history to new regions where Jews settled in the 19th century and how they were transformed to fit the new environment.
