Looking forward
 

Changes are coming to Jewish Heritage Europe! Within a few weeks we'll be launching a revamped and redesigned JHE web site. Besides a new look -- and new logo -- there will be many more resources & links, enhanced search functions, and a home page that prioritizes our flagship News Feed. The new JHE will be fully responsive for access on smart phones, tablets, and other devices. We'll be previewing some of the new features as we get closer to the launch.
Recent news included major funding for cemetery and synagogue restoration. Poland pledged €24 million toward restoring the Warsaw Jewish cemetery, and the Willesden Jewish cemetery in London got a £1.7 million National Heritage Lottery grant. The new Bushey, England Jewish cemetery won an architecture award.
In Italy, fund-raising for repairs to cupola of Florence synagogue was successful. And Hungary allocated more funds to complete the restoration of the synagogue in Subotica, Serbia.
