Seminars

Since 2009 we have been organising seminars for employees of Jewish and partner organisations, whose projects we finance in our grant calls. The aim of the seminars is to educate these workers in different aspects of Judaism, so that they understand the context of their work in a better way. The seminars take place three times a year and they feature topics ranging from Jewish traditions, Jewish sights, modern Jewish history, Holocaust, current political and sociological issues and Israel. Since 2013, we have been organising extensive seminars for Czech Jewish educators. These seminars take place once a year. Since 2011 we created a follow-up series of seminars for social and medical staff of Jewish communities (these seminars were originally organized by the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic). These seminars take place three or four times a year and they deal with legal issues of social work, psychological aspects of work with Shoa victims and other issues that these workers face in their jobs.
