This is the first time that the annual meeting of the Leon Recanati Center for the Heritage of Thessaloniki and Greece (1890-1945) is held, which is an experiential, homely and inspiring space, which is home to the Greek Jewish community, and to anyone seeking a moment back in time.
The center presents the lives of the Thessaloniki Jewish community, about the people, the stories, the lifestyle, the culinary world, Ladino culture, music and religion, and opens a door to a pleasant acquaintance with a world full of joy of life, and a forgotten piece of history.
Therefore we could not find a more appropriate place to hold the annual meeting.
The meeting reviewed the activities of the bureau in the past year, the activities of the bureau expected in the coming year, milestones in the past year, difficulties and barriers that we encounter on a daily basis.
The delegation that went to Thessaloniki this year, the Calcalist conference planned for May this year, real estate acquisitions in Greece, tourism, business connections and various directions for business development. Future plans for bureau activities.
