SUMMARY:The Heartbeat Of A Jewish Home: European Country Estates With Wendy Evans
DESCRIPTION:**THE HEARTBEAT OF A JEWISH HOME: EUROPEAN COUNTRY ESTATES with WENDY EVANS**\n**ZOOM**\n**THURSDAYS\, 10 – 11:30 AM**\n**MONTHLY: Dec. 11; Jan. 8; Feb. 5** \nThroughout Europe\, numerous palaces\, villas\, and country estates bear\ntestament to Jewish history and influence. Land ownership served as a\nmeaningful expression of social standing for Jewish communities. For instance\,\nWeimar statesman Walther Rathenau acquired and restored the\nPrussian royal palace at Bad Freienwalde near Berlin. Similarly\, Benjamin\nDisraeli purchased Hughenden Manor to affirm his status as an English\ngentleman. In the early 1900s\, banker Moïse de Camondo commissioned the\nconstruction of a mansion inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles to\nhouse his impressive collections. These enduring landmarks reflect both the\ntriumphs and tragedies experienced by Jewish lives across history. \n**Tuition: $70** \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/12230 \nClick here to join the livestream.\n[]()
