Jewish Culture

The Holocaust Museum of Porto hosted a special concert by the renowned Magevet Choir on 29 May, bringing together approximately fifty attendees for an evening of music, culture and reflection.

The president’s call for a national Shabbat “celebrates our religion and it refocuses on our job to become a light unto the nations,” Rabbi Steven Burg of Aish told JNS.

The concert featured performances by Mekor Haim Choir and HaMakom Choir, with the aim of introducing audiences to a particularly expressive dimension of Jewish heritage.

“The intellectual creates while he lives, for his mind rejects any lesser subject, such as that primitive art of buying and selling.”

The other four organizations benefit from public funds, unlike the community in Portugal's second largest city.

Jewish-themed Museum spaces in cities such as Frankfurt, Rome, Krakow, Prague, Amsterdam, Venice are magnificent, although they cannot showcase their entire history through paintings.
