SUMMARY:Houses of Life: Synagogues and Cemeteries in Italy
DESCRIPTION:ASF’s Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nHouses of Life:\nSynagogues and Cemeteries in Italy\nWe invite you to a virtual tour of an exhibit currently on display at MEIS – the National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah. \nCurated by Andrea Morpurgo and Amedeo Spagnoletto\, this exhibit offers an innovative in-depth approach focusing on the architecture\, rituals\, and the roles played by both synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in the Jewish community. Visitors will explore the specifically Italian nature of these two places\, while understanding the over two thousand years of history of the country’s Jewish community.  \nThe history of cities and of human beings intertwine in the exhibit\, through their original architecture\, artifacts that are passed down in and between families\, and are on display. Among these are prestigious loans such as the Aron ha-Qodesh\, the holy Ark\, of the Vercelli Jewish Community and many precious documents from both State Archives and Italian Jewish Communities. \nMonday\, 26 June at 12:00 PM EDT \n(Complimentary RSVP) \nAbout the curators: \nAndrea Morpurgo is an architect and architectural historian.
