The Land of Wooden Synagogues

The lecture deals with the synagogue architecture of Lithuania, compares masonry and wooden synagogues and explains why the majority of extant wooden synagogues in Europe could be found in Lithuania. 

The series is devoted to the history and architecture of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in the Russian Empire. It demonstrates how certain patterns of Jewish material culture were transferred from an area with a long Jewish history to new regions where Jews settled in the 19th century and how they were transformed to fit the new environment.
