With the launch of our revamped web site, Ruth Ellen Gruber, the Coordinator of Jewish Heritage Europe, takes a moment to reflect on the development of JHE since we went online in 2012.
She describes some of the features of the new site and writes:
Updating and revising content for our new site allowed me to look back at how JHE has grown, and also to appreciate the remarkable development (and proliferation) of Jewish heritage projects and resources over the past six years.
Our News Feed, op-eds, and other articles have reported on restoration work on scores of synagogue buildings and Jewish cemeteries, as well as on documentation work, new resources, archaeological and other discoveries, clean-up sessions, and Jewish heritage tourism — as well as on a wide range of issues and concerns related to the preservation, care, promotion, and role of Jewish built heritage.

With nearly 1,400 posts from many countries, we believe that our fully searchable News Feed is by now the most comprehensive collective database of current news related to Jewish built heritage issues across Europe.
There are many ways that you can be involved with JHE. Send us information on your projects, and also information about Jewish heritage-related events that we can put on our Calendar. Let us know about new publications and send us books for review. Send in photos for our photo galleries. Submit ideas for our “Have Your Say” op-ed/personal essay column.
And — of course — join the conversation with comments, shares, and likes.
