Beit VeneziaWHAT WE DO
Beit Venezia weaves Jewish culture into the larger fabric of Venetian cultural life, serving both the local Jewish community and a general Italian and international audience, Jews and non-Jews alike.
We build on ten years of experience and organize conferences, lectures, residencies, performances and tours. We regularly partner with the Jewish Community of Venice and its Jewish Museum, the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari and numerous national and international organizations from Israel, the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, France, Belgium and other countries. We invite famous authors to address the most topical Jewish issues. We foster research and scholarship in Jewish studies by offering a unique educational and artistic platform. We assist Jewish and academic and cultural organizations plan their visits and gatherings in Venice, promoting interaction between them and local Jewish residents.
