Summary
The Silk Road was one of the most important trade routes in human history, connecting East and West and facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and culture. However, what is often overlooked is the important role played by Jewish merchants in this network of trade and commerce.
WJT is proud to have produced the Jewish Silk Road portal with our partners in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, India, and Turkey, with the aim of highlighting the Jewish story along in the countries along this famous route.
The project generated a great deal of interest in the Israeli Press and this pressbook shines a light on that success, where there were over 40 articles in print in addition to radio and television interviews. The Haaretz newspaper also featured the project on the cover of their magazine.
