de la Culture Juïve 2005
Jewish Heritage is an integral part of European
history and culture. Most of Jewish history and
culture is rooted in Europe, with a story made of
migrations, persecutions and precariousness, but
also of exchanges, humanism and a profusion of
mutual enrichment. Judaism has had an impact on
the lifestyles (cooking, singing, dancing, language
etc.) of most Europeans be it by the values, which it
promotes, or by the fact that throughout centuries
Jews and non-Jews have lived together. Indeed,
everywhere they have lived and everywhere where
they were able to, Jews built synagogues, have left a
cemetery and of other traces, not only to express
their faith, but also to let the living testimony of
their presence as well as of their contribution to life
and the development of their village, city or region.
Pledge of particularism, this heritage is also a sign of
their will to integrate in the surrounding society,
without giving up their religion, but enriching their
contribution the evolution of a common life.
The European Route of Jewish Heritage
consists in the highlighting of the buildings which
have been left to us by the Jewish communities
across Europe. It crosses Europe from the South to
the North and from Western Europe to Central and
Eastern Europe. Jewish sites are linked by common
elements by a Jewish heritage which is a full part of
the historical and cultural European Heritage.
Jewish institutions,
- A growing number of museums to study, protect
and publicise Jewish life and its religious and daily
artefacts,
- A large de number of programmes: cultural,
academic, professional and youth exchange
between people from different religions,
cultures and countries.
In doing so, it inevitably tackles the wider issue of
Judaism, Jewish culture and Jewish traditions in
today's Europe.
The European Route of Jewish Heritage makes the
Jewish sites more visible whilst at the same time,
making the cults in Judaism more apparent,
transparent and accessible to European citizens.
This project participates in the education process
on tolerance of the citizens.
The main goals of the European Route of
Jewish Heritage are to preserve and promote
Jewish heritage as European heritage, to promote
tourism around these sites and to make the
Europeans aware of the cultural richness brought by
the Jews across Europe during their stay in so many
different regions.The Route of Jewish Heritage will
not only enable visitors to discover the history of
the Jewish people but will also enable them to
know better their local and national history.
In this context, in 2001 the European Institute of
Cultural Routes proposed to develop the "Day"
into the European Route of Jewish Heritage, as an
additional itinerary connected to the programme
"Europe:A common Heritage "
The project was born out of the European Day of
Jewish Culture. Launched in 1996 in the Bas-Rhin
(Alsace/France), under the Open Day formula by
the Jewish association B'nai B'rith Hirschler in
Strasbourg, in partnership with the Agence de
