On Thursday, October 16, the inauguration of the brand new Jewish community center Jean Kling took place, named after the former Chief Rabbi of Nice who left a spiritual and moral impact on several generations of Jewish residents of Nice.
The Deputy Mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, was present at the inauguration of the center located at 3 Jean Médecin Avenue, accompanied by Guy Sellam, president of the Jewish Consistory of Nice, along with all the presidents of Jewish associations, and the Rabbinical Corps.
With such a venue, the Jewish community on the French Riviera now has a cultural center bringing together numerous activities that were previously spread across various locations: a youth space, the office of the Jewish Consistory of Nice, the rabbinate office, a charitable society, as well as the radio “Chalom Côte d’Azur.”
A space that further strengthens Nice’s multicultural image, but it raises the question of whether it represents community seclusion.
