Jewish Museum, 17th C. Ark Italian, Walnut, & Oak Our History Over the past eleven years, the European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage have become an established feature in the Jewish calendar. B’nai B’rith UK Launched in 1996 by B’nai B’rith in Strasbourg, Jewish Heritage Days spread to several other European countries and gathered momentum when, in 2000, a partnership was formed which now comprises B’nai B’rith Europe, the European Council of Jewish Communities and the Spanish Jewry Network. Between 25 and 30 countries participate every year, attracting well over 200,000 visitors throughout Europe. The success of the EDJCH has led to the creation of the European Route of Jewish Heritage, linking notable sites in a Jewish Heritage Trail right across Europe. The Route is included in the Council of Europe’s programme – ‘A Common Heritage’ and has been awarded the status of ‘Major Cultural Route’, one of only 7 such routes. British participation in the EDJCH is organised by B’nai B’rith UK, this year celebrating the 100th anniversary of its presence in Great Britain. BBUK is part of B’nai B’rith International, founded in New York in 1843, today one of the largest Jewish volunteer organisations active in humanitarian, human rights, cultural and charitable work in 58 countries, 27 of which (including the United Kingdom) are affiliated to B’nai B’rith Europe. B’nai B’rith would like to acknowledge the contribution of Jewish Heritage UK, members of B’nai B’rith UK and our sponsors for their generous support, as well as our participants who are making these Open Days possible by opening their buildings to the public and/or arranging events. For further information about Jewish Heritage Days, both here and on the Continent, contact B’nai B’rith UK: Tel. 0759 907 7869 Email: [email protected]

B’nai B’rith Europe Open Days This year's theme is

inviting participants across the United Kingdom to celebrate the treasures of Judaica, the legacy of Jewish artists like Marc Chagall, the faith-inspired architecture of contemporary and heritage interiors. New venues offering special events this year in London include the Ben Uri Art Gallery, London Metropolitan Archives, Museum of London and Wiener Library. Around the country, new Heritage Trails and Guided Walks offer visitors the chance to explore towns rich in Jewish history. In the spirit of interfaith outreach and understanding of Jewish

culture B’naiand B’rith observance, everyone is welcome. ART &in J U
