About the tour
A tour of Jewish Lviv
Historically, Lviv had a large and active Jewish community, as evidenced today by the remains of synagogues. By 1941, there were at least 45 synagogues and prayer houses.
By the beginning of World War II, there were over 120 thousand Jews in Lviv.
This tour tells about the peculiarities of the Jewish people, what positions they held, describes their everyday life and peculiarities of their life. Being an isolated part of the city's population, Jews had their own courtyard, synagogue, house of wisdom "Beth Hamidrash" and other attributes of independence. We start with the only preserved and functioning Jewish synagogue. This tour will take you through the outer and inner Jewish quarters, the ruins, the Jonas Sprecher house, and the city's Jewish hospital. You will see the ruins of the Renaissance Gold Rose Synagogue, built in 1582. It was the main synagogue in the Jewish quarter. There are several buildings left that belonged to the Jewish elders, who occupied the headquarters and ritual baths. There is an opportunity to visit the museum "In the footsteps of Galician Jews".
