Fence Around the Tora
The Jewish Museum in Berlin gives a broad public some insight into the history and way of life of Germans with Jewish faith in a comprehensive permanent exhibition, varying temporary special exhibitions, a learning center and in various events.
In the context of the permanent exhibition we realized an interactive installation about the Talmud. The Talmud is an important addition to the Tora. It emerged from the necessity to preserve the Jewish way of life. With the Tora defining rules the Talmud discusses these rules. Before people started to put it down in writing about 2500 years ago, the Talmud was transmitted orally from generation to generation. The writing of the Talmud has never been finally ended but complemented and extended. This explains the characteristic layout of the Talmud.
