The EU makes move to combat antisemitism
By Pagine ebraiche staff
“Antisemitism is an attack on European values”. So starts the declaration approved on Wednesday by the Council of the European Union to mainstream the prevention of and countering antisemitism in all its forms. The adopted declaration makes the fight against antisemitism a priority of Europe’s executive branch. “Any form of antisemitism, intolerance or racist hatred is incompatible with the values and aims of the European Union and its Member States and must be addressed through decisive action at European and national level” it states. Member states, it reads, have a permanent, shared responsibility to actively protect and support Jewish life. The critical step comes under the leadership of the German presidency of the Council, which is comprised of government ministers from the 27 EU Member States. The European Summit of heads of state and government is expected to formally adopt the declaration this week.

How to light the Hanukkah candles together
By Pagine ebraiche staff
For more than twenty years, the Sunday of Hanukkah, which this year falls on December 13th, has been the opportunity for the Jewish Community of Casale Monferrato to meet hundreds of friends in a light themed day. The date has been confirmed also this year and although it will happen online it is expected to be more crowded than usual, thanks to the international public.
During the event, the president of the Jewish Community Elio Carmi and the Young curator of the prestigious collection of the Museum of Lights Daria Carmi will introduce seven new artists whose work this year becomes part of the collection. Then the kids of Maccabi Monferrato will present a short video dedicated to the Maccabi World Union. On December 10th, an online event organized by the Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah-MEIS will explore the themes of Hanukkah with Elio Carmi and the Chief Rabbi of Padova Aharon Locci.

Wege zur Definition der Identität
 Von David Bidussa*
Am Freitag, den 27. November, eröffnete Abraham B. Yehoshua das "Festival des Klassikers“ bei der Stiftung Circolo dei Lettori in Turin (wenn Sie möchten, können Sie es hier hören). Er stellte eine unvermeidliche Frage: Welche Bedeutung haben Mythen für die Schaffung der Identität - religiös, politisch und national? Zählt es zu wissen, dass man eine Dimension der historischen Kontinuität von Raumzeit hat? Oder zählt es, die eigene nationale Identität regelmäßig neu zu schaffen? Wir stehen vor Herausforderungen, die sich zweifellos damit beschäftigen, welche der beiden Wege zur Definition der nationalen Identität man derzeit wählt.
hunting.
