The European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage in 2014 were launched on September 14, 2014 at the prestigious villa and museum Massena in Nice.
The launching ceremony of the European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage in 2014 was the occasion of inaugurating the Smartphone application of The Routes of Judaism in the city of Nice.
A prestigious launch
The launch of this year’s theme Woman and Judaism took place in the presence of Martine Ouaknine, Deputy, representing Mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi, Patricia Trojman and Avraham Vanwetter, Co-Presidents of the Free Hebrew University of the French Riviera, Régine Bessis, Regional President of B’nai B’rith, Maurice Niddam, President of the Consistory of Nice.
A rich heritage
Exploring the Jewish heritage of the Maritimes Alps is now very easy. You simply download the app Patrimoine Juif (Jewish Heritage) to your Smartphone. The application displays a map of the city of Nice and its surroundings and shows you all the places to be visited with their route and their history. You can then, with this information, quietly enjoy your walk through the Jewish cultural heritage of Nice and its region.
