In part 1 of this two-part series, Micaela, a tour guide of Jewish Rome, will introduce us to the amazing history of the Jews of Rome. She will explain how they came from Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple and never left. We will virtually visit the Ghetto, the great synagogue and some of its Judaica collection with the related use and custom; we will learn some words of Judaico Romanesco and also some recipes. Sponsored by The Grotta Fund for Senior Care of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest. Closed captioning available ONLY if advance requests are received.
