Echoes of the Past: Jewish Life in Venice’s Ghetto and Beyond

Hosted by Qesher, this event will explore the history of Jewish life in Venice, focusing on the unique relationship between the city and its Jewish community, which was confined to the first “ghetto.” Despite these restrictions, Jews played a vital role in the welfare of Venice, contributing to its Golden Age. The talk will also highlight the preservation of Jewish heritage in Venice today, including synagogues, a museum, and cultural activities.
