Event Description

After almost one hundred and fifty years, the struggle for equal rights for Jews remains one of the Alliance Israélite Universelle's priorities. Whether making formal diplomatic approaches to the governments of countries where Jews were oppressed, providing assistance to those wishing to emigrate, or establishing a network of French-oriented schools for Jewish students in the Balkans, Middle East and North Africa, the Alliance continues to work in the field of Jewish education and culture.
