Prague's Jewish Quarter
The Jewish Quarter in Prague is one of the best-preserved in Europe, with its synagogues and cemetery surviving the Second World War. Dating back to the 10th century, it houses the oldest active synagogue in Europe. Once a center for one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, Prague is deeply connected to prominent rabbis, Jewish philosophers, scholars, and historic family lines.
