Description
Sydney Jewish Museum is like stepping back in time to ancient Jerusalem. The museum is housed in a beautiful sandstone building that was originally constructed as a synagogue in 1874. The exhibits chronicle the history of the Jewish people from their biblical origins to the present day. The museum also features a large collection of Jewish art and artifacts.
One of the most interesting exhibits at the Sydney Jewish Museum is the model of the ancient city of Jerusalem. The model is made up of 1,500 miniature buildings that were hand-carved out of clay. It is the largest model of Jerusalem in the world and it took the artist, Yitzhak Pinto, more than 25 years to complete it.
The Sydney Jewish Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Jewish people. It’s a fascinating place to learn about the Jewish experience throughout the ages, and it’s also a great place to see some beautiful examples of Jewish art and architecture.
