The
objective of this congress is to appraise the current state of the
study of the Jewish Presence in the Catalan-speaking areas. We aim to
emphasize the independent, distinct identity of Catalan Judaism
vis-à-vis the Sepharad by considering the main thematic areas
in the development of Jewish culture in the Catalan-speaking
territories, and to provide a forum for discussion and debate.

The
Inauguration will be held in the town hall of Barcelona. The first
and third day the congress will be celebrated in the Aula Magna of
the University of Barcelona. The second day we will move to Cervera's city.
Lenguages
Communications
may be given in any of the following languages: Catalan, Spanish,
English, French.
Target Audience
The
congress is aimed at all those interested in the study of Catalan Judaism.
Themes
The
congress will be divided into five thematic areas: history, on the
first day; literature and philosophy on the second; science and the
Jewish community today on the third. The themes will be presented and
debated in communications and discussion groups.
Complementary Activities
During
the three days of the Congress, objects and books relaiting to the
Jewish presence in Catalan-speaking Territories and to the Jewish
world in general will be on offer. There will also be a visit to the
Jewish quarter and the opportunity to sample the cuisine.
