Spiro Ark and the Romanian Cultural Institute present -
Jewish cultural heritage of Romania
Exhibition, presentations and concert in honour of:
Restoration of Transylvanian Synagogues Project

We, at the Spiro Ark, do care about the state of Romanian synagogues, and therefore we partnered with the Romanian Cultural Institute in order to help them attract well deserved interest in the project of restoration of the fabulous synagogues in Transylvania, which are now threatened to be extinct if no urgent action of restoration takes place.

The programme contains:
1. the photographic exhibition--synagogues in southern Transylvania
2. lectures: Julie Dawson -- "The Plight of Romanian Synagogues"; Letitia Cosneanand--"Restoration of the Medias Synagogue"; Andrei Oisteanu-- "Jewish Culture in Romania"
3. book presentation: 'Inventing the Jew' by Andrei Oistenau
4. klezmer music live concert by the Kosmos Ensemble.

The event will take place in the presence of HE Dr Ion Jinga, the Ambassador of Romania in the UK.

Number of seats allocated to our people is limited so it would be as usual - first come first served.
