“Tohuwabohu” is one of the first terms in the Torah and describes the formless state of the universe before creation. Long established in German usage as “chaotic,” “Tohuwabohu” was also the title of Sammy Gronemann's successful novel about the various facets of Jewish life in Berlin at the turn of the 20th century, and is now a fitting title for our overview tour through the tumultuous history of our house. We span an arc from the first opening of the doors in 1866 and the visit of Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck to the destruction in World War II and the reconstruction around the turn of the century.
und dem Wiederaufbau um die Wendezeit.

Along the way, we encounter courageous police officers, prophets, and rabbis, and trace stories that are literally inscribed in the walls and objects of the New Synagogue.

Particularly suitable for: 
Middle school, high school, university students, adults, international groups in different languages

Duration: 60 or 120 minutes

The New Synagogue and its permanent exhibition highlight the very different aspects that defined Jewish life in Berlin during National Socialism. Community activities after 1933 tell a story of self-assertion and resistance. Jewish Berliners were forced to leave their homes and emigrate; others were arrested, deported, and murdered. In October 1942, more than 500 community members were selected by the Gestapo for deportation to Theresienstadt. The building itself was saved from destruction in November 1938 by the intervention of courageous police officers, but was later used by the Nazis for their own purposes, as were the community archives housed in the building. The Ner Tamid of the former synagogue (the eternal light that symbolizes the divine presence in every synagogue) bears witness to destruction and survival in today's exhibition.

Particularly suitable for:
High school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 90 minutes

The New Synagogue Berlin on Oranienburger Strasse was opened in 1866 and was one of the most famous Jewish religious buildings in Germany at the time. Some of the new features of this synagogue included its organ, a choir consisting of both men and women, a bilingual prayer book with German, and, in the 1930s, the world's first female rabbi. Today, one room of the historical part of the building is used as a synagogue, and the congregation that worships there today is also innovative in how it practices many Jewish religious traditions. We explore both the synagogue currently in use and the permanent exhibition, addressing questions of tradition and modernity. We explain what a mezuzah is, what texts can be found in the Torah, how to be charitable, and whether shark fin soup is kosher. Anyone aged 5 to 120 who is curious is warmly invited to join us.

Particularly suitable for:
High school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes

This tour is primarily aimed at those who want to spend 90 minutes delving deeper into both the historical and religious aspects of Jewish life under the golden dome on Oranienburger Strasse. The tour includes visits to the prayer room currently in use in the historic synagogue building and the permanent exhibition “Open Ye the Gates.” It focuses on the history of the building since 1866, during National Socialism, in the GDR, and after 1988, each of which also reflects the situation of the Jewish community. The New Synagogue and the neighboring College for Jewish Studies were centers of liberal Judaism at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, with composer Louis Lewandowski, rabbi and religious philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel, and historian Herbert A. Strauss all working here. We also discuss institutions of the Jewish community in the surrounding neighborhood, such as Berlin's first Jewish Museum and the Central Archives of German Jewry, and the ways in which they were confiscated and abused during the Nazi dictatorship. German memory politics, restitution, and the reemergence of Jewish life in Berlin today after the Shoah are also central topics that can be covered.

Particularly suitable for:
Upper secondary school students, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 90 minutes

If you would like to discover the Torah, kippah, and Star of David with your preschool group and visit our museum, please contact us. We offer approximately 30-minute tours of the synagogue and the exhibit rooms.

Duration: approx. 30-45 minutes

The New Synagogue is a historic site whose history is deeply connected to its neighborhood. The Spandauer Vorstadt, Scheunenviertel, and Berlin-Mitte in general were once the heart of vibrant Jewish communities. With a little curiosity, a good guide, and a trained eye, you can still discover traces of Jewish histories and biographies from different eras in our immediate surroundings today.

Walk Through the Spandauer Vorstadt Neighborhood

Walk Through the Spandauer Vorstadt Neighborhood

Up until the time of the German Revolution only one quarter of the Jews in Prussia had citizenship. Most remained excluded from various professions and areas of public life. This is why many of the democratic ideas of the German Revolution found fertile ground among Prussian Jews, who were overrepresented among those who fell during the Revolution of 1848. This city tour explores the important but often overlooked role played by Jews in the early history of German democracy. Along the way, we immerse ourselves in the Jewish Berlin of the 19th century and encounter Jewish barricade fighters and revolutionary rabbis, as well as courageous publishers and journalists who fought for freedom of speech.

Particularly suitable for:
elementary school, middle school, high school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages.

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes.

Using examples from religious texts and modern debates within Jewish groups, we turn to the history of queerness in Judaism and questions of gender roles. We also look at the lives of queer Jews such as resistance fighters Herbert Budzislawski and Gad Beck, as well as social worker Hannah Karminski. They lived, loved, and fought very close to our building. This tour takes you through the New Synagogue Berlin and the surrounding area in Spandauer Vorstadt, where we will discuss not only the traditional role of women in Judaism, but also Jewish women such as Regina Jonas. As the first female rabbi in world history, Regina Jonas not only fought for new opportunities, but also broke down existing barriers.

Particularly suitable for:
High school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages.

Duration: 120 minutes

Jewish women in Germany and Berlin had to emancipate themselves twice. In addition to emancipation as women in Jewish society, they also had to find their place and integrate as Jews in Berlin's predominantly Christian society. On this tour, we will examine the position women have held in both Jewish society and the Berlin population over the last two centuries. From the first ordained female rabbi in world history to artists at the dawn of modernism to political activists and women's rights advocates.

Particularly suitable for:
High school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes.

The Spandauer Vorstadt, once a lively center of Jewish life in Berlin, underwent significant changes in the postwar period and during the GDR era. This walking tour provides insights into the phases of rebuilding community life after the war, the promises and disappointments of state-sponsored anti-fascist ideology, and religious life under an anti-religious state. We visit places where the small East Berlin Jewish community gathered between 1945 and 1990, and also show which Jewish places disappeared from public perception. We learn about various Jewish personalities who played very different roles in the political and cultural life of the GDR, and explore the question of to what extent it was possible to live one’s Jewish identity in East Germany.

Particularly suitable for:
High school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes.

ranz Kafka, the world-famous writer from Prague, spent the last year of his life in Berlin. There he found his final love, Dora Diamant, and deepened his connection to Judaism with her. Together they attended courses at the College of Jewish Studies around the corner from the New Synagogue. Kafka called the institute “a place of peace in wild Berlin.” The 1920s were indeed wild. They were marked by crises such as attempted coups, inflation, and rising antisemitism. Despite this pressure, Berlin’s Jewish community was diverse, dynamic, and vibrant, and displayed an enormous cultural creativity. On this tour, we explore the Jewish Berlin of the 1920s, which for a short time was also Kafka’s home.

Particularly suitable for:
elementary school, middle school, high school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages.

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes.

A walking tour through the Spandauer Vorstadt can be booked in combination with an exhibit tour or as a separate educational program. The Spandauer Vorstadt neighborhood was a center of Jewish life in Berlin—and today, Jewish institutions and organizations are returning here. The content of the tours is adapted to the thematic focus of the guided tours and can take you to the former Jewish girls' school, the former children's home “Ahawah,” the synagogue community “Adass Jisroel,” the Leo Baeck House, and the old Jewish cemetery on Große Hamburger Straße. Memorial plaques and stumbling stones tell the stories of Regina Jonas, the world's first female rabbi, Cioma Schönhaus, who forged passports for persecuted people during the Nazi era and fled to Switzerland, and Philipp Kozower, who was a member of the board of the Jewish Community of Berlin and was deported to Theresienstadt with his wife and three children in 1943 and later murdered in Auschwitz.

Particularly suitable for:
Middle school, high school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages

Duration: 60 or 120 minutes

No clichés, no romanticism: we delve into Jewish Berlin in the 1920s. In the Scheunenviertel and Spandauer Vorstadt neighborhoods, we trace the places where long-established German Jews met new Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who were seeking a new life in Berlin as a result of war, hunger, and expulsion. We discover the colorful mosaic of theaters, shops, schools, clubs, and synagogues where these people lived their lives. We learn about the Scheunenviertel pogrom of 1923 and the armed self-defense of Jewish war veterans. And we get to know personalities such as the poet Mascha Kaléko and the social worker Siegfried Lehmann, who were among the protagonists of this vibrant Jewish culture.

Particularly suitable for:
elementary school, middle school, high school, university students, adults, international groups in various languages.

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes.
