Community in Corfu

In the courtyard behind the Synagogue of Corfu, Greece:

(above) A shulchan (table) where bodies would be ritually purified for burial.

The walled up doorway in the background is the former entrance to the mikvah (ritual bath) for the community. The mikvah is no longer in operation.

(below) The bombed out remnants of the school behind the Synagogue. Until WWII, the building was a thriving Jewish school for the community.

The poles in the foreground are for the sukkah in the courtyard of the Synagogue.

Judaism in Corinth

You will notice a distinct lack of Jewish content in Episode Six - Navplion, Greece.

While there has been a Jewish presence in Greece for Millennia, predominantly the Romaniote Jews, on this particular day we only visited one location that had any Jewish history to it.

The Jews of Corinth are long gone, wiped out or moved to other communities. This picture represents the only record of their existence I came upon in my time there.

For ancient Jews, the symbol of the Menorah (candelabra) and lulav (palm branch) with etrog (citrus) were what we would today equate with the "star of David".
