A Jewish museum opened in Munich. The Associated Press reported Sunday that the museum is part of a complex including a community center and a synagogue that opened in November on the 68th anniversary of Kristallnacht. The cube-shaped museum’s permanent exhibition will focus on aspects of Jewish life, especially religious rites and festivals. Objects currently on display include Renaissance manuscripts, a Jewish wedding ring from 1500 and a 550-year-old prayer book for Sukkot, the AP reported.
