The House of Jewish Culture, in partnership with the CCLJ, is organising a guided tour of the Cureghem synagogue, inaugurated in 1933, in this working-class district of Brussels. This was a time when many Jews fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe and the rise of Nazism in Germany. It is one of the last remaining Jewish buildings from this period, which is why it is so important to visit it. In 2024, the Jewish community, keen to preserve its heritage, had the Anderlecht synagogue classified as a Monument by the Region.
