One of the most important duties or paramount tasks of the Maribor Synagogue is to present the interesting and rich Jewish cultural tradition to the public, and in that way stimulate the perception and knowledge of different cultures and the aspiration for a more tolerant society. The long-term goal is to establish a Slovene Jewish Heritage Centre at the site. The Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor was established to provide a public service in the field of collecting, preserving, documenting, studying, interpreting, managing and exhibiting the Jewish cultural heritage in the territory of the Municipality of Maribor and Republic of Slovenia and beyond, and to inform about it, with the aim of developing awareness of the Jewish cultural heritage, disseminating knowledge about its values and promoting enjoyment of it. Synagogue Maribor has become a centre for studys, documentation, and research into Judaism, Antisemitism and the Holocaust. It organises cultural, scientific and other public events and carries out research projects. In cooperation with numerous domestic and foreign experts and institutions, a significant part of the programme content is dedicated primarily to the history of the Holocaust and antisemitism.
