Plaque Commemorating the Burning of the Talmud in Rome
In time for Rosh Hashanah 5771(2011), this plaque was unveiled to commemorate the events of Rosh Hashanah 5314…September 9, 1553. The Inquisitors confiscated every copy of the Talmud in Italy and burnt them in the market. A complete edition of Talmud was not found in Italy for the remainder of the 16th century.
