Jewish ghetto in Venice | SLICE

[@superbere]

I’m no Jewish but the final line “Even though you feel alone praying, you’re still praying with the many generations that proceeded you” was very touching

[@DanielladeMaria]

My grandma was a Jew from Venezia and my grandfather came from the South. She survived world War II during the Holocaust due to the Catholic church helping hide her.

Ashkenazi means European not German.

[@erectilereptile7383]

That would mean every European Jew was Ashkenazi (they’re not)

[@MarcSafaniev]

@@erectilereptile7383 That is the direct translation, your feelings on this really don't matter. because these are Jews with a European experience in the diaspora, The same applies to Jews of Sefarad (Spain) or Mizrahi (Eastern) and many others. I'm guessing you are not a member of the tribe as this is basic Hebrew!

[@fullthrottleinthemojave1138]

Ashkenazi is the old Hebrew word for Germany and Central Europe.

I'm descended(twice) from Bartholomew Tagliaferro who was born in this Jewish Ghetto and who later was sent by the Doge to England to play music for the English royals with other Italian Jewish/converso musicians like the Bassanos and Galliardellos(who I am also descended from). Pretty neat stuff.

venice had lost a valubable trading route. and was faceng bankrupcy. thats why it invited the jew a place to live

[@eccoeco3454]

False, Venice was still powerful when the ghetto was first ensablished.

There were already many Roman Jews living in Italy before the decree that forced all Italian Jews to move to the foundry area. Also, whether it invited or not, the Jews of Spain and present day Turkey came there to avoid persecution
