This Sunday the Synagogue of Livorno was open to the public for the European Day of Jewish Culture.
The band of our “Accademia Navale” played the national anthem and the European anthem, based on Friedrich Schiller's Ode to Joy from the final movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
A concert was held by the Chorus of the Great Synagogue of Rome in honor of Rome's chief rabbi emeritus, the Livornese Elio Toaff. In background the exquisite baroque Aron Kodesh (Torah ark), a 1708 masterpiece from the Synagogue of Pesaro.
The chorus was lead by the maestro Claudio Di Segni, a tenor and a teacher at the “Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia”.
At the end of the concert the chorus and the soloist sang a version of the “Hatikvah”.See also: Synagogue of Livorno - Moses Montefiore
