About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Walks In Europe, Tallinn Estonia
If you’d like to see a bit more into Tallinn apart from the Old Town and interested in the Jewish history of the city, then this 4-hour tour is just the match for you. Your expert guide will pick you up from the hotel or your ship.
Stop At: Estonian Jewish Museum, Karu 16, Tallinn 10120 Estonia
Our first visit of the tour will be the Estonian Jewish Museum.
The unique exposition in the Museum sheds light on the somewhat unknown part of the Jewish history in Estonia.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Beit Bella Synagogue, Karu 16, Tallinn 10120 Estonia
Beit Bella is the first synagogue built in postwar Estonia. By 1942, the Nazis had murdered those who remained, and Estonia was the first state declared Judenfrei.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Dr. Fr. R. Kreutzwald Memorial Museum, Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwaldi 31, Voru 65609 Estonia
Many of the Jewish remnants of the past have few or no markers in the old town but we still go to these sites to remember where they were:
A prayer room at Kreutzwaldi Street
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Tallinn Old Town, City Center, Tallinn Estonia
Many of the Jewish remnants of the past have few or no markers. During much of the Soviet era, the community maintained a prayer house not far from Old Town. Originally a warehouse, the extant building is in a derelict state. A prayer room at Kreutzwaldi Street took its place between 1946 and 1966, but it was demolished to make room for a hotel.
The Old Cantonists’ Synagogue (1867 to 1870) building still stands in Old Town. It is a one-story, one-room stone edifice that today serves as the Estonian Maritime Museum. Nearby, was the former Great Choral Synagogue, which was destroyed in a March 1944 Soviet air-bombing raid. Nothing marks the site.
The Magasini Cemetery dates back to the beginning of the Jewish community. A plaque on the remaining wall reads: “Here was the Jewish cemetery from the 18th century until the end of the 1960s.” Today, the site is, unfortunately, a parking lot.
