LA SOURCE DE VIE - 2001 - FRANCE 2 TELEVISION
A program by Josy Eisenberg, directed by Pascale Kenigsberg-Cahen, with the participation of the Consistoire Central and the Fondation Lucien Lévy.
JEWS OF FRANCE : Nancy’s heritage
With the participation of Daniel Dahan (Rabbi of Nancy and its region) and of Claude Jablon (President of the Jewish cultural organisation of Nancy).
Officially founded in 1754, Nancy’s community developed quickly, strongly accelerated by the arrival of Jews from the Alsace and Moselle regions, who fled the departments taken by Germany after 1871. During World War II, around 900 members of the community were killed by nazis.
In the 1960s, the arrival of about 60 families from different countries of North Africa revitalized the community. The reorganisation of the neighbourhood in the 1970s led to the creation of a new community center built by the architect Jean Prouvé.
This show hosted by Josy Eisenberg presents the cultural and religious life of the Jewish community of Nancy through the history of two important institutions: Nancy’s synagogue and the Jewish Cutural Association.
