The Judenhof with its synagogue, women's prayer room, and ritual bath (mikveh) has existed since the 11th century. The history of Speyer takes you on a rapid journey through many centuries. You will eavesdrop on exciting discussions between a modern Jewish woman and two medieval scholars.

You will learn about the synagogue, the synagogue district, and the old Jewish cemetery "Heiliger Sand" in Worms in three stories. Two boys meet at the cemetery and chase after Hebrew letters. A clever professor and an American visitor meet at the cemetery in the second story. In the synagogue district, pregnant Maayan connects with an ancestor from the 19th century.

In Mainz, Leon Wurzeln, who comes from Australia, wants to fulfill a wish of his great-grandfather Max and meets not only the rabbi his great-grandfather knew as a child, but also Irina, who lives entirely in the Jewish present. The old Jewish cemetery "Judensand" marks the end of the walk through 1000 years of Jewish history.
