It asks some questions about what this workshop might do for you and how you might be able to contribute to it.
This initiative convenes researchers and heritage professionals to address various challenges collaboratively with care and rigour. Drawing on memory studies, history, theology, anthropology, the arts, and social sciences, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach to navigate shifting meanings and responsibilities.
Focusing on areas where heritage is most contested, the project supports researchers, educators, and institutions in grappling with ethical and political dimensions amid heightened scrutiny. Its aim is to respond to the present moment and shape inclusive, rigorous, and forward-looking approaches to Jewish cultural heritage for the future.
