to the Jewish Museum Worms!
In the Middle Ages, the Jewish community in Worms enjoyed a high reputation throughout western Europe as “Little Jerusalem on the Rhine”. Still today, there are unique records and reminders of Jewish life to be seen and visited in Worms, among them the Jewish Museum in the Rashi House. Come inside and learn all about the long history of this building and about the wide range of exhibits on religious and everyday life in the Jewish community from the Middle Ages up into the 20th century.
Special Exhibition!
The exhibition “SchUM on the Rhine - From the Middle Ages to Modernity” takes you on a journey through time to the heyday of the Jewish communities in the ShUM cities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz.
Since mid-September 2020, the Jewish Museum in the Rashi House has been awaiting you with a completely new museum experience.
The exhibition: "ShUM on the Rhine - From the Middle Ages to the Modern Age"
More information: Exhibition website
The Jewish Museum, the Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery are closed from 23 December 2024 - 1 January 2025.
We wish you happy holidays.
In order to meet the great demand for longer opening hours at the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Worms, the previous opening hours of the Jewish ShUM sites in Worms have been extended despite the city's current budget situation.
It is now possible to visit the synagogue during lunchtime. The previous closure of the building at lunchtime no longer applies.

Monday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Winter opening hours (November 1 to March 31):
Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Please note that it is temporarily not possible for tourists to visit the synagogue during services and events organized by the Jewish community. Due to ongoing construction work, the synagogue may also be closed to visitors at short notice.
