Artistes juifs de l’école de Paris 1905-1939 - Nadine Nieszawer et Déborah Princ

Between 1905 and 1939, Paris attracted artists from all over the world. In this melting pot centered on Montparnasse, one group set itself apart: the Jewish artists who came from Russia, Poland, and across Central Europe. Although their styles varied, a common fate united them: they had fled the anti-Semitic persecutions in their home countries.

La naissance du hassidisme, Mystique, rituel et société (XVIII°- XIX°siècle) - Jean Baumgarten

With the help of a grant from the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah, Jean Baumgarten has written the first work in French on the Hassidic movement, which he studies in its entirety: from its theological underpinnings to its social organisation, from religious custom to mystical practices. This book situates hassidism with the history of Jewish mysticism, looking at the beginnings of the movement as well as identifying the novelty of the doctrines of its first masters who, notably in the ecstasy of prayer, dance, singing, sought to bring about a unification between the human body and the divinity of the universe.

Supported projects - Jewish culture

From the very start, the Foundation has been committed to transmitting and making the best possible use of the thousand-year-old legacy of Judaism — entire segments of which were annihilated during the Shoah. The Foundation supports all aspects of Judaism in its diversity, with a special emphasis on education, to ensure the transmission of Jewish culture from generation to generation. It is especially attuned to initiatives that promote Yiddish and Judeo-Spanish cultures and languages and encourage access to major Jewish texts.
