Tune in Sunday July 10 for a National Library of Israel online event marking the 10th anniversary of Jewish Heritage Europe!
It will be free, via Zoom, at 8-9 p.m. Israel time (7-8 p.m. CET; 1-2 p.m. New York time)
Like the recent JHE conference held in Krakow, it’s called New Realities of Jewish Heritage — and features an hour-long conversation with JHE’s Ruth Ellen Gruber and Samuel D. Gruber, the president of the International Survey of Jewish Monuments (ISJM) — one of the few times that the sister and brother will have appeared together in such a forum.
Looking back on their more than 30 years’ involvement in the field, they will explore a range of issues regarding Jewish heritage sites and monuments — from their destruction during and after the Holocaust to the “Jewish archaeology” of their documentation and rediscovery; to the multiple challenges and strategies for their preservation and future use: for religious purposes, education, tourism, culture, commemoration, and more.
The event is free.
