Two People, One Womb: The Jews of Italy

Hosted By: Qesher

Jews have been living in Italy since the last centuries BCE, even before the destruction of the second Temple. They’ve adopted local music, food, language, style and customs. There have been tough times, but overall it is a story of co-existence and mutual respect. Explore the history of Jews during the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the ghettos of Venice, Mantua and Rome through emancipation, World Wars and the present day. Discover language, poetry, music, theater, liturgy and – of course – cuisine.

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.
