The Jewish Museum in Prague is the third oldest of its kind in the world – not a single building, but a remarkable ensemble of historic synagogues, monuments, and exhibitions located in the former Jewish Quarter, Josefov, in Prague’s Old Town. With the Prague Jewish Town Ticket, visitors gain access to the most iconic sites of Jewish history and culture, including the Old Jewish Cemetery, Old-New Synagogue, or Spanish Synagogue. Whether you're a history enthusiast, architecture lover, heritage or just curious traveler, this immersive experience offers a deep connection to centuries of Jewish life, resilience, and tradition.

We would like to thank all those who responded to the call for lecture proposals for the Bohemian National Hall Annual Lecture on the History and Culture of Jews in the Czech and Slovak Lands, which was issued by the Jewish Museum in Prague, in association with the Society for the History of Czechoslovak Jews and the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York.
 

In total, we received 13 proposals from scholars from four different countries, all of which cover a wide range of interesting topics. We appreciate the level of interest generated and believe that the lecture will help to expand awareness of the history and culture of Czech, Moravian, and Slovak Jews.
 

October 7. 2025 - The Jewish Museum in Prague commemorates one of the most tragic attacks in the history of the State of Israel, during which the terrorist organization Hamas murdered over 1,200 people and abducted hundreds more. The brutal violence and kidnappings shook not only Israeli society but the entire world.

The Jewish Museum joined the Bring Them Home Now initiative and placed photographs of all abducted individuals on the wall of the Old Jewish Cemetery—some of which, tragically, remain there to this day. We also supported this initiative through a public fundraising campaign.

The anniversary of this tragedy serves as a reminder of all the lives lost and the deep pain left behind. We share our compassion with the families of the victims, the hostages, and all innocent civilian victims of this conflict.
