A
lready into its 12th edition, the EDJC
was held on Sunday, September 4th,
2011. The subject matter of this edition,
“EDJC 2.0: Facing the Future”, investigates the
Jewish heritage in the era 2.0, explores which
are the new approaches to promotion and
preservation and which are the new tools of
communication, representation and exchange.
The new era of communication has opened
up a world of new possibilities for presenting
and highlighting Jewish Culture and heritage.
Whether it is graphic design, videos, films,
internet forums, etc., they all offer the
opportunity of both a new view on already
known aspects, and of tackling the subject in a
totally different way, using the ever increasing
facilities for sharing information interactively
in a social media dialogue.
A wide array of activities enabled the visitors
to get acquainted with this particular aspect of
Jewish culture.
The present report offers a summary, per
country, of the nearly 800 different activities,
which have been organised all over Europe,
confirming the consolidation of this event on a
European-wide level.
Some of the activities consisted in examining
certain aspects of the subject matter, others
focused on showcasing the historic Jewish
heritage of each place with open doors and
guided visits.
Several countries, such as France, the United
Kingdom and Spain, have already extended
the celebration of the EDJC to the whole
weekend, or even weeks and months: the EDJC
became an additional event to the programs of
activities held throughout the year by different
institutions.
We would like to thank the enthusiasm and
efforts of all persons involved in the organisation
and celebration of this important event.

The AEPJ
T
he European Association for the
Preservation and Promotion of Jewish
Culture and Heritage – AEPJ- , was created
in 2005 encouraged by the Council of Europe,
to devise and develop the European Route of
Jewish Heritage. The association is currently
formed by two members: B’nai B’rith Europe, a
Jewish non-governmental organisation present
in 28 countries, who strives to defend the
Human Rights and the Jewish culture, and to
fight against anti-Semitism.
Red de Juderías de España – Caminos de
Sefarad, is a non-profit public association of
Spanish towns whose goal is to protect the
urban, architectural, historical, artistic and
cultural Sephardic Heritage in Spain. There are
currently 21 member cities - Ávila, Barcelona,
Besalú,
Cáceres,
Calahorra,
Córdoba,
Estella-Lizarra, Girona, Hervás, Jaén, León,
Monforte de Lemos, Oviedo, Palma, Plasencia,
Ribadavia, Segovia, Tarazona, Toledo, Tortosa
and Tudela, and each of these towns has
highlighted its ancient Jewish heritage and has
established a programme of animations, tours,
and training.
Furthermore, the AEPJ also has individual
members.
The association is operating in three fields:
• Coordinating the European Day of Jewish
Culture, which is celebrated on the first Sunday
of September ever since 1999.
• Developing the European Route of Jewish
Heritage, acknowledged in 2005 by the
Council of Europe as European Major Cultural
Route within the COE programme of European
Cultural Routes.
• Acting as interlocutor with the Council of
Europe on Jewish culture and heritage issues.

THE EUROPEAN CULTURAL ROUTES
T
he programme was launched by the
Council of Europe in 1987.
Its objective was to demonstrate, by
means of a journey through space and time,
how the heritage of the different countries
and cultures of Europe contributes to a
shared cultural heritage.
The Cultural Routes put into practice the
fundamental principles of the Council of
Europe: human rights, cultural democracy,
cultural diversity and identity, dialogue,
mutual exchange and enrichment across
boundaries and centuries.
The key objectives of the programme are to
reinforce the potential of Cultural Routes for
cultural co-operation, sustainable territorial
development and social cohesion, with
a particular focus on themes of symbolic
importance for European unity, history,
culture and values and the discovery of
less well-known destinations. It helps to
strengthen the democratic dimension of
cultural exchange and tourism through the
involvement of grassroots networks and
associations, local and regional authorities,
universities and professional organisations. It
contributes to the preservation of a diverse
heritage through theme-based and alternative
tourist itineraries and cultural projects.
The Governing Board of EPA awards the
certification “Council of Europe Cultural
Route” and carries out regular evaluation of
certified routes in conformity with Committee
of Ministers, which establishes the rules the
rules for the award of the “Cultural Route of
the Council of Europe” certification.
Currently there are 29 European Cultural
Routes, among which features the European
Route of Jewish Heritage, which has received
its certification in 2005, being awarded
“Major Cultural Route” two years later, in
2007.
The main goals of the European Route of
Jewish Heritage are to preserve, to promote
and to keep alive Jewish heritage, to develop
tourism around these sites and to make
Europeans aware of the cultural richness
created by Jews in Europe.
The European Jewish heritage mainly
includes archaeological sites, old synagogues
and cemeteries, ritual baths, Jewish quarters,
monuments and memorials, archives and
libraries, as well as specialised museums to
study, to protect and to publicise Jewish life
and its religious and daily artefacts. But what
is even more important is that the European
Route of Jewish Heritage and the European
Day of Jewish Culture connect the work of
the communities with the cultural, artistic,
economic and social agents of the different
territories, thus mutually promoting their
task on an international level.

“ EDJC 2.0:
Facing the Future ”
“..Combining tradition and innovation is
a constant that has always been present that is, as a matter of fact, the formula of
how tradition managed to survive through
centuries. This year’s topic is Facing the
Future - Heritage and Modernity. Modernity implies change and dialogue in the new
European context - dialogue within society
as well as dialogue within all the communities that today add to the diversity and
beauty of Europe”.
Ms. Bjanka Subotikj, President of the Jewish
Community of Macedonia
The édition 2011 of the European Day of
Jewish Culture places itself in the future;
therefore towards an active questioning.
Interesting choise, as it prefers the risk of the
unknown to the destruction of the adquired
certitudes, it causes the reflection and the
call to responsability.
Désirée Mayer, Présidente J.E.C.J.Lorraine
The “fil rouge” that links all the events
across Europe in this Day is resumed in
“Facing the future”: if the contempary
world overlooks tomorrow with thousands
of questions and hopes, maybe an old tradition such as the Jewish one can help in
providing tools and some reading keys.

T
he Jewish Community in the Republic
of Macedonia celebrated the European Day of Jewish Culture for
the sixth time on September
4, 2011. The event’s venue
was the Holocaust Memorial
Center, where the Concert of
the Mois Hason Choir and the
exhibition “Life of the Jews
from Bitola” took place.
“The spacious plaza just in
front of the Center was perfect for a late summer night
concert in the open air. We
all agreed on the importance
of our heritage, the Sephardic romances, performed in
a modern context and communicating a message that
would speak to us all in 2011
in our ever-changing European reality. The other songs of
the program were carefully
chosen from the repertoire of
the choir and included traditional Jewish songs and songs
by Macedonian and foreign
authors. The conductor, maestro Tomislav Shopov, with his
beaming smile gave final instructions to the singers. More
and more passers-by seemed
to prolong their stay and enjoy the music at sunset. At a
quarter to eight, as tradition
dictates, the audience slowly
started gathering. The clatter
of members and friends of
the Jewish Community, government representatives and di-
plomats filled the summer air
as they took their places. The
host announced the beginning
of the European Day and the
opening speech of the president of the community,
The concert and exhibition
announced, the sounds of Nabucco’s Chorus of the Hebrew
Slaves set the expectations of
what was to follow. During the
next few songs the stage was
completely dominated by Hebrew . Jo sto longi de mi kaza
took us to a completely different territory - both literally
and to that of the heart. In a
heartbeat, we were taken to
medieval Spain, where young
men were courting las morenikas, and sang of love and passion. The traditional Sephardic
romances performed were textually and musically first written down by Moric Romano,
a distinguished member of our
community, in their authentic
djudezmu, while the prepara-
tion for choral performance
was made by maestro Shopov.
The last notes of the romances
were mixed with astounding
applause just before the beginning of the last block of songs:
a tribute to one of the most
loved Macedonian singers
Toshe Proeski, songs by the
Serbian composer Mokranjac,
Ride the Chariot, La Spagnola,
Traviata’s Drinking Song - and
we came to the conclusion. By
this time, the audience was up
and applauding: Encore! Hava
Nagila, one of the all-time favorites, and the guests either
went to the Center to have a
look at the exhibition or joined
the cocktail outdoors, mingling and chatting.
It was a great honor staging
a concert of the Jewish choir
exactly where once the Jewish
neighborhood was situated the silence of many years was
broken by the subtlety and sublime beauty of djudezmu.

panel at the Omanut in Zürich on Israeli
writers as well as the lectures at the ICZ in
Zürich and Bern were followed with great
interest.
The IGB Basel on the occasion of this year’s

D
espite heavy rain on 4th September,
the first Sunday of the B’nai B’rith
European Days of Jewish Culture &
Heritage, Blue Badge guide Rachel
Kolsky led an enthusiastic group of people
around London’s historic Willesden Cemetery.
‘Finance to Furniture, Politics to Prayer’ was
the well-chosen title for a 2-hour tour of the
cemetery. Around 40 people turned out to visit
the graves of the many distinguished AngloJewish people buried there and Rachel’s
selection included notables from the world
of art, science, industry, religion and politics
(not excluding some rogues).
‘Bagels to Brady Street’ walking tour led
the visitors from Brick Lane to Brady Street,
introducing the Jewish East End through
bagels, the furniture trade, the Jewish
Maternity Hospital, Hughes Mansions, the
Brady Centre and then Mocatta House, before
visiting the cemetery.
The Museum of Immigration and Diversity at
34
19 Princelet Street received over 200 visitors
for its tour and exhibition, many of whom
were from Brazil, Israel, Australia, USA,
France and Italy and most were not Jewish.
Hampstead
Synagogue
in
London’s
Dennington Park Road opened its doors to
the public, inviting interested visitors to view
the newly renovated Grade II* Art Nouveau
interior. The Administrator, Ivor Nadel,
who told them enthusiastically about the
community and the building, especially the
beautiful stained glass windows with which
they were fascinated. The group included
a husband a wife who were eminent Israeli
professors, a young and enthusiastic Hindu
family, an Asian family and several other
non-Jewish visitors who were interested in
understanding more about Judaism.
Although only a small group attended the
Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain
workshop at the Grade II listed West London
Synagogue, (which was also open for Heritage
Day), all were welcomed and looked after by
trained JGSGB mentors, who had 6 computers
set up and running ready for visitors to use.
The JGSGB promotes and encourages the
study of Jewish genealogy, assisting all those
tracing the family history of their Jewish
ancestors.
The New West End Synagogue in St
Petersburgh Place were also delighted with
the large group of 90 people that came to its
open day.
The Jewish East End Celebration Society’s
Clive Bettington reports that their AGM, also
held on Sunday as part of the B’nai B’rith
Heritage Days activities, was attended by 20
people at Nelson Street Synagogue, followed
by singing and refreshments.
Over 100 people attended an extremely
interesting talk given by Professor Eric
Moonman, OBE, President of the Zionist
Federation, of Great Britain, former Vice
President of the Board of Deputies and MP,
on concerns with our future as a people in
our ancestral land.
Around the UK, Bradford Reform Synagogue,
the Grade II* listed and oldest Reform
synagogue outside London, ran a talk and an
exhibition,
The Lincoln Jewish community put on a
Jewish Heritage Trail walk in Ramsgate,
where it took place an exhibition based on
the Heritage Days ‘Facing the Future’ theme,
exploring what makes a modern synagogue
tick. The shul had a good exhibition on
display boards to give an insight into how the
Jewish community embraces the past with the
future, the uses of modern technology, online
services and websites. Around 80% of visitors
were not Jewish and many had never been
inside a shul, so it was a great opportunity for
interfaith connections.
The momentum of the first day of events
continued throughout the rest of Heritage
Week.
