September 2016 marked the 175th anniversary of Jewish life in South Africa.
To mark this historic occasion the South African Jewish Museum developed an exhibition entitled ‘The Goldene Medina’ [The Golden Land] which reflected on the religious, social, and political history of the Jews of South Africa, from 1841 to 2016.
This exhibition offers unique insight into the day-to-day lives of generations of ordinary South African Jews. The anecdotes are presented anonymously; they are curated from first-person accounts, unpublished memoirs, and diaries. These anecdotes are not only relatable to Jewish South Africans, but they also reflect the common shared experiences of Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora. Read more
