The Portuguese Synagogue of the Hague will host a concert under its glass dome and that of Bourtange will show off a 200-year-old stained glass window its owners saved.
On European Days of Jewish Culture, Rouen will host a major symposium about the Sublime House — a 12th-century yeshiva which will open in October following an extensive restoration.
