Czech Jewish culture, both tangible and intangible, offers a journey into a rich heritage throughout history. Visitors to the Czech Republic can explore synagogues, cemeteries, and Jewish quarters that witness the continuing presence of Jewish communities throughout the region. In Prague, the Jewish Quarter, known as Josefov, is a treasure of architectural wonders, with landmarks such as the Old Jewish Cemetery, Europe's oldest surviving Jewish burial ground, and the beautifully restored synagogues, including the iconic Spanish Synagogue and the Maisel Synagogue. 

Czech Jewish "intangible" culture is alive in the traditions, rituals, and customs passed down through generations.

Whether tracing family histories in ancestral towns or participating in cultural events that highlight the contributions of Czech Jews to art, science, and society, visitors are sure to find meaningful connections to their heritage during their time in the Czech Republic.

Jewish history in the region is connected to the Jewish city of Prague and intangible culture. Historically known as shtetls, Jewish villages in the Czech Republic were vibrant centers of Jewish life and culture. These communities, such as Třebíč and Mikulov, were marked by their distinctive synagogues, Jewish schools, and cemeteries. They were the hubs of trade, craftsmanship, and religious scholarship during the Middle Ages and into the early modern period. Despite facing periods of persecution and expulsion, Jewish residents contributed significantly to the cultural and economic fabric of the region. Today, remnants of these once-flourishing villages are preserved as cultural heritage sites that testify to the rich Jewish legacy in the Czech lands.
