Description
|
|
It's the biggest synagogue in Rome, focal point of the most ancient Jew community in Rome, that counts nowadays about 16.000 people.
The building houses in its interior, besides the synagogue, the Jew museum and the offices of Israeli community in Rome.
The area is the one where there was the ghetto and where, still nowadays, many Roman Jews live and work. The quarter, whose name is Portico d'Ottavia, maintains still today deep links with these roots. In this area you can find several activities linked to Roman Jew tradition and culture.
Jew people in Rome represent a very little part of the population, but at the same time their millenary presence (Titus Arch testifies the Jew deportation in Roman age) contributed markedly to the development of Rome and left a sign even in Roman traditions. |
