Jewish Norway Tour
Hosted By: Walnut Street Synagogue
Walnut Street Synagogue presents a session on the Jewish presence in Norway, which began in the mid-19th century after the repeal of the 1814 constitution’s “Jew Clause” in 1851, a change driven by poet and activist Henrik Wergeland. Early Jewish settlers from Eastern Europe and Denmark established communities in cities such as Trondheim, whose synagogue, once a train station, stands as a symbol of survival and adaptation, while more than a third of Norwegian Jews were deported and murdered during the Holocaust. The session traces post-war rebuilding and how Trondheim and Oslo today reflect a blend of migration and living heritage.
