By the way, what is it like to be Jewish? For children aged 10 to 13

On the eve of the Second World War, nearly 350,000 Jews of more than 50 different nationalities lived in France. These origins testify to a long history of dispersion but also of transmission. What is being Jewish ultimately? Is it to share a religion, a culture, a common history?

Through images, objects and melodies, children discover the different facets of Judaism. A walk in the old Pletzl (Jewish district) then allows participants to discover the Jewish life of the Marais, past and present, while making a logbook.
