Jewish Heritage Tour

“Those who seek paradise on earth”; George Bernard Shaw once wrote, “should come to Dubrovnik”. Today, he might add that Dubrovnik is the place for all those who wish to renew themselves and their faith in human nature.

Along the way you will visit among other places; The synagogue which is one of the most cherished sites of Sephardic culture in the world. The combination of a 13th-century Gothic house with a 16th-century Sephardic synagogue interior makes this a special place to contemplate the diverse influences on and expressions of European Judaism. Photo-journalist Edward Serotta, who attended the reopening and who has long been familiar with building sent ISJM the following report: "The floors have been sanded and shellacked, the wall benches repainted with woody-effect, all have been painted, the tile work in the stair-hall has been replaced or relaid, the community rooms have been made very nice, with a toilet and tiny kitchen added.

The Baroque ark was left untouched and looks fine. Finally, the beautiful blue ceiling with its stars was handsomely repainted. Not exactly as it was, but awfully close." Other fine buildings will be viewed from the outside: the Sponza Palace notable for its column courtyard with elaborate stone carvings, Church of Saint Blaise, Onofriou’s Fountain, etc.
