Message from Katarína Lepšíková

The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague, also known as Starý Židovský Hřbitov, is a historic burial ground dating back to the 15th century. It's one of Europe's largest Jewish cemeteries and a significant cultural site in Prague. Famous figures like Rabbi Judah Löw ben Betzalel and businessman Mordecai Meisel are buried here. The cemetery's unique feature is its multiple layers of graves, creating a dense forest of gravestones. Visitors can explore the rich history and symbolism of the tombstones, making it a must-visit spot for those interested in Jewish heritage and Prague's past.
