Une soukkah décorée d'une vue de Jérusalem évoque la place centrale de la cité historique et mystique dans l'esprit des Juifs dispersés dans le monde. Les fêtes de pèlerinages, Pessah, Soukkot et Shavou'ot, sont présentées à travers les objets (dont une Haggadah et un mizrah) ainsi que des textes associés.

| The traditional Ashkenazi world - Section 07
The sukkah's makeshift structure heralds the scale models of synagogues. This collection marks the beginning of an exploration of the traditional framework of Jewish life in Eastern Europe through its key emotional moments and settings.

| The traditional Sephardi world - Section 08
The Sephardic expression of the same themes is shown. These two symmetrical collections enable an appreciation of the formal kinship between the two traditions and the weight of influences.

| The Emancipation : The French model - Section 09
We now enter the era of the Emancipation, which began with the French Revolution. No longer thematic but more historical in nature, this panorama of French Judaism in the 19th century focuses on vital events in its integration into modern society.
