Last update: Mgr. et Mgr. Sylva Ondrejičková, Th.D. (01.01.2019)

The course will provide a basic orientation in the sources of European Jewish culture, focusing on the issues of architecture, the interpretation of the artistic expression in material Hebrew culture, the influence of Hebrew sources on the perception of art in the life of the Levant, and later Syro-Palestine and European Jewish communities in a diasporal environment. It will end with an ungraded assessment.
