The Jewish quarter in Tučapy u Soběslavi (German Tutschap), a community in the Okres Tábor district of the Jihočeský kraj region in the Czech Republic , consisted of two parts, separated from each other by the village pond (no longer available today).

Around 1830 the quarter consisted of nine houses, the synagogue, the school and the rabbi's house, all in the northern part of the quarter, in the southern part there were 13 houses and a hospital. The mostly one-story houses have been preserved to this day, although not in their original condition.

In the school , which started teaching in 1779, there was a prayer hall on the upper floor, which was closed around 1881 after the synagogue was built (1st half of the 19th century). In the school there was an apartment for the teacher (or for other employees of the Jewish community). The school is a listed building.
