Our guide Isaiah was highly engaging and very knowledgable ! He expertly answered many detailed questions that I had about the history and Jewish sites of Padua. The museum is in the synagogue where many great Jewish scholars (R. Judah Mintz, Maharam Padua, R. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto) studied and prayed. The sense of Jewish History, aided by character videos, is palpable and was extremely inspiring ! The second synagogue on the tour, which is actively used by the community, is stately and beautiful. When in Padua, plan a tour of the University of Padua, which is 800 years old, one of the first Universities open to Jews, and is the birthplace of Anatomy and many other medical discoveries ! You can also tour the Jewish cemeteries on certain days/times. Padua and the Jewish museum are well worth a visit !
