The Jewish Museum in Munich is right next door to this synagogue. The rock wall on the lower portion is reflective of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, and the angled glass on the top is supposed to represent the tent where Jewish religious artifacts were carried while the Jews wandered for 40 years in the wilderness.
Dirndls (typical women's dress) and lederhosen (leather pants) were everywhere on Saturday. Families gathered in the platz by the Munich City Museum and the Jewish Museum to play in the fountain. Later in the evening there was music in every platz, some German, but really a little bit of everything from swing to doo-wap. It was a tourist's wonderland.The clock at the Deutsches Museum, the German Museum of Technology. Chad and I spent an hour looking at the development of flight, including astronaut underwear. Ask Chad about the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
