Regensburg, Germany - known for centuries by its older, Celtic-Latin name, "Ratisbon" - sits on the northern most point of the Danube, and it has a Jewish history dating back to at least 981 CE; within a couple of centuries, it was the center of the movement known as the Hasidei Ashkenaz. It is also the home to a small but thriving Jewish community today, one centered around a modernist synagogue built on the site of the synagogue destroyed on Kristallnacht in 1938. The new structure was dedicated in 2019, in somber memory of the city's expulsion of the Jews 500 years earlier, in 1519.
Rabbi Laura Lieber will offer a brief overview of the important Jewish history of Regensburg, and she will also discuss her experiences finding her place in this new community, with her family, as a North American Jew (and a Reform rabbi), as they made the reverse journey from the New World to the heart of Ashkenaz.
Prof. Rabbi Laura Lieber is the Chair of Transregional Religious History, in the University of Regensburg, Germany. She holds a Ph.D. in the History of Judaism from the University of Chicago and rabbinic ordination from HUC-JIR in Cincinnati. Her research focuses on Jewish liturgical poetry.
