Day of Jewish Monuments held around Czechia

More than fifty Jewish heritage sites around Czechia will open to the public for free or voluntary admission fee on Sunday as part of the fifth Day of Jewish Monuments.

Visitors will also be able to see cemeteries, synagogues and other buildings, including those that are not usually accessible to the public.

Among the biggest attractions this year are two newly reconstructed synagogues - the Great Synagogue in Pilsen and the synagogue in Čáslav.

The Day of Jewish Monuments initiative is organized by Jewish community in Prague in collaboration with Matana, the administrative body for Jewish buildings and cemeteries and the Federation of Jewish Communities in Czechia.
