Three projects for the preservation and valorisation of the Jewish heritage in the Marche Region. This is what the\u00a0Foundation for Jewish Cultural Heritage in Italy (FBCEI)\u00a0has proposed together with the Community of Ancona, where the FBCEI Board of Directors met on March 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has become a habit for the Foundation to meet regularly in some Jewish Communities, especially the smaller ones, in order to strengthen our calling to serve them. This time as well everyone was satisfied,\u201d said at the end of the meeting the President of FBCEI, Dario Disegni. In Ancona, he explained, the intention is \u201cto begin a restoration to solve the problems of water infiltration in the building that houses the Italian and the Levantine synagogues.\u201d A second project aims to restore some antique fabrics preserved in the synagogue of Senigallia, in the province of Ancona. The third project is \u201cthe restoration and safeguarding of the synagogue of the city of Urbino.\u201d In addition to the meeting in Ancona, which unanimously approved the report on the 2024 activities and the final balance sheet, the Council of the FBCEI carried out an inspection of the synagogue of Senigallia. A conference was also at the Jewish Community of Ancona organized to discuss \u201cThe synagogue and the Jewish cemetery: a parallel and dialoguing story.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A national conference will be held in September, on the European Day of Jewish Culture. \u201cWe will\u00a0talk\u00a0about the binding of Jewish books,\u201d Disegni explained. \u201cA theme in line with the event, which this year is dedicated to books.\u201d Also on this theme, the Council will soon publish the documents of a conference on Jewish printing held last year. Another project under study concerns the Marche region: in a warehouse of the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, two staircases, once part of the Senigallia synagogue, have been \u2018languishing\u2019 for a long time.\u201d \u201cWe are taking action with friends who live in Israel. The stairs are beautiful and they deserve to be appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
