LAUNCH OF THE BOHEMIAN NATIONAL HALL ANNUAL LECTURE ON THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF JEWS IN THE CZECH AND SLOVAK LANDS
 

This year, the Jewish Museum in Prague – in co-operation with the Society for the History of Czechoslovak Jews (www.shcsj.org) and the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York – will be launching an annual lecture on the history and culture of Jews in the Czech and Slovak Lands. The lecture will be held each autumn at the Bohemian National Hall in New York. The aim is to actively help strengthen awareness in the USA of Jewish history and culture in the area covered by the boundaries of the erstwhile Czechoslovak Republic, and to enable scholars from universities, academic institutions and other organizations in various countries to travel to New York for this purpose. The call for lecture proposals will be announced by the Jewish Museum in Prague on March 31 each year. It will be open to a wide range of scholars working on a variety of topics centred around Jewish history and culture in the Czech lands, Slovakia and in the other regions of the former Habsburg Monarchy from the Middle Ages to the present.

INVITATION TO THE ONLINE EXHIBITION "SOUVENIRS FROM THE SEA"

suvenyryzmore4.jpgThe collection of the Jewish Museum in Prague also contains a small and rather curious group of objects in the form of sea snail shells with etched inscriptions in Hebrew. This is evidence of an interesting cultural phenomenon that emerged in what was then Palestine at the very beginning of the twentieth century, probably continuing for the next 30 or so years. These inscribed shells also appear in other Judaica collections, as well in specialized auctions, which suggests that this was indeed a mass phenomenon.
