Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor & KERAMEIKON, Croatian Ceramic Association issue a Public Invitation to Members of the Ceramics Artists Association of Israel (CAAI) and other Israeli Ceramics Artists to participate in the project
“PRESENT YOUR BEST”

In Maribor one of the oldest synagogues in Central Europe is preserved. The renovated synagogue is an exceptional cultural and historical monument of worldly proportions. Maribor was up until the exile of Jews in 1496 one of the centers of medieval Judaism, emanating into the broader European region. In the second
quarter of the 15th century Maribor’s synagogue served as the temporary seat of the high rabbinate for Styria, Carinthia and Carniola. After the exile of Jews from town the synagogue was rebuild into a catholic church, in the 18th century the building was used as a warehouse and later as a residential premises.
It was in the ‘90s that the renovations of former Maribor’s synagogue rendered its original appearance.
In April 2001 the synagogue became home to Maribor Synagogue cultural center, and ever since hosts various cultural events, including historic and fine arts exhibitions, lectures, presentations, literary evenings and concerts.
During past few years a majority of Maribor Synagogue’s programs are dedicated to presentation of Jewish history, tradition and cultural heritage.
