En la época de las Altas Fiestas es tradición visitar los cementerios para honrar a nuestros antepasados. Desde hace unos años, como colectivo también visitamos el antiguo cementerio de Montjuïc donde, a primera vista, no hay rastros visibles.
En 2009 fue declarado Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional y falta aportar significado.
Por eso nos reunimos en este solar para renovar nuestro compromiso con el principio de Kavod HaMet: “ofrecer al difunto el respeto y el honor adecuados”, una tradición milenaria que se había interrumpido después de 1391, cuando los ataques anti judíos resultaron en la desaparición de la comunidad.
Sabemos que, bajo nuestros pies, bajo arbustos y raíces, yacen miembros de nuestra extensa familia judía. Y con nuestra acción volvemos a tejer el alma del lugar con el paisaje que naturalmente se ha generado.

Freier Museumseintritt

On Sunday, September 1st, the Jewish Cultural Center Ljubljana on Križevniška Street will organize the event "Jewish Life in Ljubljana 2," which will intertwine Jewish music performed by the Kontra Quartet from Maribor and cantor Nikola David from Munich, and the stories of Jewish families from Ljubljana before World War II and during the Holocaust and their predominantly tragic fates. The stories of Jewish families from Ljubljana will be narrated by actors: Robert Korošec, Timotej Novaković, Nika Korenjak, and Robert Baruh Waltl.

Organizing such events today is extremely important, as it enables the preservation of historical memory, the strengthening of cultural awareness, and mutual understanding. These events allow us to remember the past, reflect on the present, and build a better future where tolerance and acceptance of diversity are the foundations of society.

The European Day of Jewish Culture is celebrated on the same day in almost forty countries on the Old Continent. In Oporto, visitors will have a special program involving the city’s main Jewish institutions, which include kosher restaurants, an art gallery and much, much more. Entrance is free of charge.

At the monumental Kadoorie Synagogue you can not only see its main prayer room, but also view the painting exhibition displayed in the wonderful library on the first floor, in addition to listening to the performance of the Mekor Haim Choir, a male choir singing Jewish liturgical music with a high quality repertoire.

At the Jewish Museum dedicated to the history of the Jews in Portugal and the diaspora, you will have the chance to meet the granddaughter of Captain Barros Basto, known as the “Portuguese Dreyfus”, who founded the modern Jewish community of Oporto exactly one century ago.

Open doors at the MUHBA El Call, days 7th and 8th September, from 11 am to 15 pm and from 16 to 19 pm.

The MUHBA’s El Call is an ideal starting point for delving into the life of the Jewish community in Barcelona in medieval times, since it addresses the trajectory of this group in connection with the city’s history and shows the splendour of its cultural legacy. The objective is not only to portray its distinctive features or the milestones it achieved, but also to try to understand the relationship that existed between the Jews and the rest of the population of the city of Barcelona.

We warmly invite you to a colorful program in the museum. The European Days of Jewish Culture have the motto “Family”. The sukkah is set up in the museum garden and there is a craft table for children. There will be guided tours through the permanent and the temporary exhibitions. We have a puppeteer as a guest who will act out the fairy tale “The Four Schallermen” together with visitors young and old using funny hand puppets and exciting percussion instruments. We are also opening our new children’s corner, which not only invites children to join in.

A cafeteria with cakes, coffee and tea invites you to linger.

Free entry.
