Examine the Irish Jewish community’s transformation, challenges, and resilience in contemporary Ireland.

Part Three (1945–Present): Post-War Transformation, Societal Contributions, and Israel

This three-part series delves into the rich history of Jews in Ireland, from their earliest recorded presence in 1079 CE to the evolving Irish-Jewish experience of the 21st century.

This session examines the establishment of the Dublin Jewish Progressive Congregation and the evolution of Jewish institutions amidst a shrinking community. We’ll discuss how anti-Semitism, institutional racism, and anti-Israel sentiment have affected Irish Jewish life, along with rare instances of support. Concluding reflections will highlight a millennium of Jewish resilience and cultural legacy in Ireland.
