Join Simona Di Nepi, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Curator of Judaica, for a virtual journey through Jewish Rome. Begin with a visit to the Museo Ebraico di Roma, where director Olga Melasecchi and guide Yael Calò lead us through a special tour of the museum and its adjacent synagogues. The Museo Ebraico presents the story and artistic achievements of the oldest Jewish community in the Western world, with 2200 years of uninterrupted Jewish presence. Learn about the lives of Jews in ancient Rome, and view the textile and silver collection from the former Cinque Scole (five synagogues). Explore the Tempio Maggiore (Great Synagogue) and the Tempio Spagnolo (Spanish Synagogue). The event concludes with a tour of Rome's historic ghetto, the enclosed area of the city in which Roman Jews were once confined, which is now a thriving cultural attraction.
