The Jews of Scandinavia: A Virtual Tour of Norway and Sweden

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher will explore the Jewish communities in Sweden and Norway, which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries when Jews were legally permitted to reside in these Christian kingdoms. The discussion will cover the early Jewish settlers, the growth of Jewish life in the first half of the 20th century, and the differing fates of both communities during WWII. Modern-day antisemitism and views towards Israel in Scandinavian societies will also be addressed.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
