The Power of Words. On Jewish Languages
This is a tale of how languages grew to become the space of cultural development for Jews living in dispersion. They shaped the sphere of the sacred, everyday communication, as well as religious, social, local and national identity, drawing strength from diversity and cultural continuity.
Hebrew is at the core of this tale — an ancient language, a sacred language, a modern language. We invite you to get acquainted with its alphabet — to watch, listen and write, to get immersed in a space filled with letters, as if they were an intricately woven ornament. It is a unique opportunity to learn about Jewish culture and discover its echoes in our everyday conversations.
 
In the exposition, the museum presents unique objects, such as a Babylonian magic bowl, a Sephardi Torah mantle, antique tomb stelae and Hebrew amulets as well as contemporary art.
