\"\"<\/a> After several months, the facade and left tower of the Synagogue of Florence have finally been cleared of the scaffolding. The end of a restoration set off by the finding of some structural fragilities has officially been certified with a ceremony in the premises of the Jewish Community of Florence. It was an opportunity to thank the donors who contributed from Italy and other countries and to outline new initiatives in Tuscany which will involve Jewish organizations, public institutions, and private foundations. The projects range from the on-going restoration on the Synagogue of Siena, damaged in 2023 by an earthquake, to the project to place in Livorno\u2019s Piazza Elia Benamozegh the portal of the port city’s ancient synagogue, considered among the most beautiful in the world, which was demolished at the end of World War II due to extensive damage.<\/p>\n

The gratitude of the Jews of Florence
\n\u201cWe had a complicated period, if we are managing to overcome it is mainly thanks to two entities: the Opera del Tempio Ebraico (the body that oversees the repair, maintenance, and restoration of the synagogue and other Jewish heritage sites in Tuscany) in Florence, with its president Renzo Funaro who has been committed to our sides for decades, and the Community Council, specifically in the figure of Brett Lalonde. They have launched support campaigns organized with enthusiasm and new fundraising techniques\u201d, said the president of the Jewish Community Enrico Fink.
\nIn this sense, the support received is a confirmation \u201cthat we are a piece of Florence, Italy, Europe and the world\u201d and that when necessary \u201cthe world\u201d knows how to be supportive. Words of gratitude also came from the chief rabbi, Gadi Piperno, who explained, \u201cYou haven\u2019t restored a monument, but a beautiful and important place for what it conveys with the Torah, what protects us as Jews the most.\u201d
\nRemotely connected were representatives of the David Berg Foundation, the Leon Levy Foundation, the World Monuments Fund, the European Investment Bank, and CR Florence Foundation. \u201cIn just a few months, funds were found for the restoration just completed in Florence and which we inaugurate with you today,\u201d said Lalonde, joining the gratitude expressed by president Fink. Other funds will, on the other hand, will ensure an \u201calmost total\u201d coverage for the restoration of the Synagogue of Siena, which has been listed just a few days ago by Europa Nostra as \u201cone of the seven endangered heritage sites in Europe for 2024\u201d and for this reason will receive a dedicated funding.<\/p>\n

New projects
\n\"\"<\/a> Among the next initiatives of the \u201cOpera del Tempio Ebraico\u201d are the restoration of some of the decorations in the Synagogue of Florence and of the Jewish cemeteries in Florence, Siena and Monte San Savino. \u201cThe cemeteries, stressed architect Funaro, are the historical memory of our communities, as in each tombstone there is a family history.\u201d Taking action is urgent, \u201ca fight against time,\u201d also because of the \u201catmospheric threats\u201d which put at risk the preservation of these sites.
\nFunaro also announced a further challenge for the future under his coordination: the rearrangement and reconstruction of the portal of the monumental Temple of Livorno \u201cwhich was for centuries one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe.\u201d The central portal survived WWIII devastation and demolition with the inscription that reads \u201cThis is the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.\u201d The goal is \u201cto reassemble it in front of the present temple,\u201d built with modern standards and inaugurated in 1962. To this end, \u00abwe will ask for help both on a national and international level\u201d, the architect said. The project will see the municipal administration, the Jewish Community and the Foundation for Jewish Cultural Heritage in Italy working side by side.<\/p>\n
