Vision
Highlight the vitality of French Judaism under the banner of his mentor, Rashi of Troyes, and promote French Jewish culture. Show how Judaism evolved in the Middle Ages and tell the incredible story of the creation of Maison Rashi: At the beginning, the challenge for the Jewish community of Troyes was simply to save its synagogue. But very quickly, the project took on a whole new dimension. Providing access to Judaism as well as to Rashi’s commentaries, through a sublime museographic experience to the widest possible audience, ranging from the anonymous visitor to the most erudite scholar, was a challenge that few people would have taken on. risky. It just seemed impossible… But we didn’t know that. The beauty of the restored place associated with the superpower of the name of Rashi, forced us to surpass ourselves. In a very short time, without really knowing what we were doing, but always carried by a phenomenal energy and a kind of euphoria constantly distilled by generous magic, we created the Rashi house. The time has now come to pass on this beautiful nugget of Judaism and to share our deep feeling of accomplishment. This show carries with it this project of transmitting to as many people as possible the crazy adventure we experienced.
