Cork Jewish Culture Virtual Walk

Produced and presented by Ruti Lachs and members of the Munster Jewish Community. A virtual stroll around Jewish Cork, with music, songs, poems, and history. Stories are told by Cork Jewish residents, past and present. Cork's Jewish community was at its most vibrant in the early 1900s. This project is part of a current effort to keep Cork Jewish past alive as part of Cork's Jewish present. The virtual walk includes a visit to the synagogue, the mikveh, the bridges connected with the community, the area where many Jews lived when they first arrived in Cork (nicknamed 'Jewtown' by locals), Shalom Park and the Evening Echo installation, and the site of a very old cemetery and a very new music session.
