On the first Sunday in September there is the usual appointment with the European Day of Jewish Culture, which involves many people throughout Italy and in 28 European countries, desirous to get to know Jewish culture in all its aspects. The day has an intriguing title: Jewish Heritage 2.0. From the Talmud to Internet.
The main theme Facing the Future is a bridge that the ancient Jewish culture can create to build a connection with the world to come, a world that can be faced with anxiety or with hope.
It is interesting to note that for the 2011 edition Siena has been selected as the city where the celebrations will begin. Events will also take place in 62 other locations in Italy.
The programme for Sunday 4th September is extremely rich of events in the Florentine locations tied to the Jewish tradition – the Synagogue, the Museum and the Monumental Cemetery.
