Traveling Exhibition: "A Lost World Revisited"

"Wooden Synagogues: A Lost World Revisited" is an exhibition about the 17th and 18th century wooden synagogues from the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth with a particular focus on the Zabludow and Gwozdziec Synagogues.

To date, this growing exhibition has been at the Polish Center of Wisconsin (2004), University of Wisconsin (2004), Oberlin College (2005), and the National Yiddish Book Center

With funding from the Massachusetts Foundation for Humanities, we have organized the exhibition with lectures and events at the Vilna Shul, the oldest existing synagogue in Boston (opening spring 2005).

In addition, the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry at Brandeis University proposes to present "Wooden Synagogues: A Lost World Revisited" at Brandeis University's Shapiro Campus Center during the school year 2006-2007.
