Family

The National Library of Israel in partnership with the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ) presents an exhibition for the 2024 edition of the European Days of Jewish Culture.

The selected theme is "Family," central to Jewish culture and tradition for millennia. In this exhibit, we explore the concept of Family with the complexities and sub-themes it encompasses, using items from the National Library's collections to illustrate the topics.
