Besides
the
main
synagogue, there are two
others in Zurich. The ultra-
Orthodox worship at
Freigutstrasse 37 in an or-
nate synagogue on the crest
of a hill. Quite in contrast to
its facade is the modest,
unimposing synagogue Or
Chadash, home of the small
liberal congregation, at For-
tunagasse 13.
Tradition is so strong in this
small country that the foun-
ding of a liberal congregation
in Zurich over ten years ago
provoked strong opposition
from the Orthodox. Even to-
day, Or Chadash is not af-
filiated with the Federation of
Swiss Jewish Communities,
the umbrella organization of
official Swiss Jewry.
The community center and
synagogues are part of
modern Zurich. For a taste of
the Jewish past, the visitor
must cross the Limmat River,
the ribbon of water which
bisects this beautiful city,
which is in part defined by
the Limmat and by the blue
expanse of Lake Zurich just
beyond the river.
On the east bank of the
Limmat is the colorful Old
Town. With its winding
streets, delicate fountains and
outdoor cafes, this sector of-
fers a journey into the past —
including the Jewish past.
In the old section is a
typically narrow street called
Forschaugasse. Many of the
ancient buildings now house
modern boutiques and art
galleries. Near the corner
is Pinkus Genossenschaft's
bookstore, with a varied col-
lection of books — written in
German — displayed in the
window.
Several of those books have
Jewish themes. They are
especially appropriate to be
displayed, for this store still
carries the name of a former
Jewish owner. It is the one re-
maining trace of what was
once the Jewish quarter of
Zurich, known then as the
Jugengasse (Jews' street).
Along these narrow streets,
Zurich's medieval Jews once
lived, owned shops, and
prayed at a synagogue which
stood at the corner of what is
now Froschaugasse and
Ridenermarket.
Their history was painful.
When the Black Death
engulfed Switzerland in 1348,
rumors spread that the Jews
had poisoned the wells and
caused the dread disease.
Pressure against the Jews
grew so strong that in
February, 1349, Zurich's Jews
were burned at the stake, as
they were in Basel and
elsewhere in Europe.
