Presentation by Ron Epstein-Mil on the The Synagogues of Switzerland
We are pleased to invite you to a fascinating presentation by Ron Epstein-Mil on the The Synagogues of Switzerland. The history of Jewish communities in Switzerland is evidenced by the variety of its synagogues. Unlike what has taken place in neighbouring countries, the majority of these Synagogues remain in good condition. This motivated Ron Epstein-Mil, an architect from Basel who trained at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, to write a fascinating book on “The Synagogues of Switzerland” that stemmed from his PhD thesis defended at the University of Basel on the history of the Swiss synagogues.
This book was originally published in German in 2008. The French version is now available thanks to support from the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities.
This superb book allows us to better understand our traditions, our country, our past and present! There are several pages on Beith GIL, Chene, the Synagogue of our vibrant community.
