Genizah finds, studied since the 1980s, grant a lively insight into the reading culture of rural Ashkenazic communities. There mainly are Hebrew and Yiddish prints from the mid-17th to mid-19th centuries. Though the majority consists of Bibles and prayer books, every other genre of old Jewish literature is represented, such as calendars, halakha, musar, and narrative literature.

Often mischaracterized as a mere "women's Bible," its loose retelling of biblical stories and combination of moralistic and didactic elements have delighted readers around the world for centuries.

Since the 1950s Genizot have been found mostly in the course of renovation work on the synagogues. After ages of storage in the attics, Genizah findings are usually in very bad condition. The finders standing before dirty »shambles out of paper« often considered Genizot to be rubbish. Only after some time researchers began to study the material, soon realizing that these findings were much more than »sacred trash«, since they could provide insight into the life of Jewish rural communities from the 17th to 19th century. Till today, dozens of Genizot have been saved in Germany. The Genisaprojekt Veitshöchheim and other researchers are dealing with the inventory, the digitization and the publication of the finds. However, there are still hardly any studies drawing concrete conclusions about Jewish community life based on the Genizah findings.
