The Jewish Project
Celebration

To make a journey through the centuries, from every point of view, is always and undoubtedly more than merely a fascinating experience. The sacred texts, the written word and oral tradition - combined with the art of combining sounds - is definitely a privileged way of trying to understand and comprehend more about any phenomenon, whether it is by nature social, religious or cultural.
