The Jewish Heritage Europe Newsletter for October went out last week….
This issue focuses on important completed synagogue restoration projects in several countries -- Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Lithuania -- plus other news highlights from around the continent that have been featured in recent weeks on Jewish Heritage Europe, the web site that I coordinate as a project of the Rothschild Foundation Europe.
There is also a link to the JHE Photo Galleries, a growing collection of galleries where many new images have been posted...Take a look -- one of the new galleries celebrates Simchat Torah with a series of images of decorated Arks from synagogues around Europe.

You may submit your own photos to add to the galleries.
Click here to see the Newsletter in your browser -- better still, sign up for automatic monthly delivery that will link you to a fascinating selection of updates and images from all around Europe.
There's a lot going on -- synagogue restorations, clean-ups of Jewish cemeteries, exhibition openings, guided tours, Jewish culture festivals -- and more.
You can also receive more frequent news by subscribing to the almost-daily newsfeed (blog) using the box on the the JHE home page.
Thanks!
The designs are so intricate that they could be an inspiration for anything artistic.
