Entrance of the synagogue of Ulm, Germany, 2023.

On March 2nd I posted a picture of the synagoge of Ulm designed by KSG architects (second photograph). Apart from being a synagoge the building also houses a Jewish community centre within its beautiful and extremely well proportioned modernist cubical structure.

A Mezuzah (Hebrew: מְזוּזָה "doorpost"; plural: מְזוּזוֹת‎ mezuzot) is a piece of parchment inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah, which Jewish followers of Rabbinical Judaism affix to the doorposts of their homes. In mainstream Rabbinic Judaism, a mezuzah must generally be placed at the entrance and in every doorway in the home, with some exceptions such as bathrooms (which are not a living space) and small closets.

In the Bible, the word mezuzah only refers to the two 'doorposts' or 'doorjambs' of a door, the upright posts on either side of it which support the lintel, and appears in various contexts unrelated to any religious commandment or parchment. The word later acquired the modern meaning of piece of parchment in post-Biblical Hebrew due to the Deuteronomy commandment requiring to write verses on doorposts.

The synagogue of Ulm, Germany, 2023.

The Jewish symbol of the Star of David is used to create patterned windows in the limestone walls of the synagogue in Ulm, Germany. The town's original synagogue was torn down in 1938 as part of the Kristallnacht, or "night of broken glass", a series of attacks on Jewish community buildings within Nazi Germany. After World War II, a secular building was constructed where the old synagogue once stood. The current synagogue was reinstated right beside the site of its predecessor, in the middle of the square. It is as though the synagogue has taken a step forward from its former position, reclaiming its location. Both a synagogue and a Jewish community centre are contained within the cubical structure, which stands apart from the surrounding buildings. With no constructed borders, it stands abrupt and solitary recalling the building of the first temple.

When Solomon was building his temple to God, there was to be no noise. The stones were to be hewn in the quarry and brought to the place of construction. One of the stones was the largest stone ever taken out of a quarry. It’s a miracle of engineering that without the use of earth moving machinery, the Israelites were able to haul this enormous cubical stone to the temple site and set it in place. Once there, the builders weren’t sure what to do with it. It didn’t seem to fit anywhere in the blueprints for the temple. So, the builders pushed it over the temple mount into the Kidron Valley and there it lay. Later, they realized their mistake and hauled it back up again. They placed it in the foundation of the temple and it remains on the western wall of the temple mount to this day.

Photo: An old dovecote in the shape of a round rough flagstone turret. It is built into a hillside, and there is part of an old flagstone wall, now with most of the mortar missing and beginning to crumble, adjacent to it. On the hill and the low ridge above the wall are clumps of daffodils, now open and showing their yellow flowers. All of the trees in the background are still bare.Photo: The corner of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. There is a statue out front, spelling the word, "YO."
