The Heartbeat Of A Jewish Home: European Country Estates With Wendy Evans

THE HEARTBEAT OF A JEWISH HOME: EUROPEAN COUNTRY ESTATES with WENDY EVANS ZOOM THURSDAYS, 10 – 11:30 AM MONTHLY: Dec. 11; Jan. 8; Feb. 5

Throughout Europe, numerous palaces, villas, and country estates bear testament to Jewish history and influence. Land ownership served as a meaningful expression of social standing for Jewish communities. For instance, Weimar statesman Walther Rathenau acquired and restored the Prussian royal palace at Bad Freienwalde near Berlin. Similarly, Benjamin Disraeli purchased Hughenden Manor to affirm his status as an English gentleman. In the early 1900s, banker Moïse de Camondo commissioned the construction of a mansion inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles to house his impressive collections. These enduring landmarks reflect both the triumphs and tragedies experienced by Jewish lives across history.
