From Aleph Espacio Cultural, through the Centro Unión Israelita, it is proposed to create the Virtual Jewish Museum of Córdoba: an innovative community cultural and educational project that will be of enormous importance for the continuity and transmission of our Jewish heritage. One of the main missions of the museum is to build a virtual platform for dissemination and reflection on the Jewish community of Córdoba. The museum addresses both the members of the community and society in general, placing a strong emphasis on the incorporation of children and young people as the main recipients of this proposal. The reason for creating this museum from a virtual platform is based on two determining situations. First, the difficulty of locating the physical museum in the facilities of the Centro Unión Israelita. Secondly, the context of social isolation caused by the global pandemic that is going through us, highlighted the need to update educational and cultural proposals to suit the new globalized and hyper-communicated times. Today, it seems essential to have digitized files, virtual content and quality interactive proposals for the public.

From Aleph Espacio Cultural, through the Centro Unión Israelita, it is proposed to create the Virtual Jewish Museum of Córdoba: an innovative community cultural and educational project that will be of enormous importance for the continuity and transmission of our Jewish heritage. One of the main missions of the museum is to build a virtual platform for dissemination and reflection on the Jewish community of Córdoba. The museum addresses both the members of the community and society in general, placing a strong emphasis on the incorporation of children and young people as the main recipients of this proposal. That is why we believe that a virtual museum is a powerful tool that enables pedagogical work at all educational levels, just by having a computer or any mobile device. Furthermore, when it comes to communicating and transmitting Jewish culture, a virtual museum is a door that allows consolidating and working on local identities from a global perspective, diverse and respectful between communities. The Córdoba Virtual Jewish Museum focuses on interpellating diverse audiences, fostering experiences through interactive and participatory virtual installations. Through an original design and an intuitive interface, it seeks to promote experiences that follow the life trajectories of the subjects, making it possible to generate connections between the history and culture of the Jewish people and the users’ own life stories. In relation to the expected social impact, we believe that it is a proposal that democratizes access to content and museum projects, enabling people from any social and geographical situation to access it for free and without transferring to high-level content. Taking as a starting point some representative and historical objects of the Jewish community of Córdoba, the discursive axis of the museum seeks to narrate the history of the Jewish people, making their traditions, customs, beliefs and cultural practices visible. A special chapter will have the history of the immigrants and the Jewish colonies. We will seek to build a portrait of this ancient tradition. The Virtual MuJu will also be a space for dialogue and exchange for those who want to learn more about the past and present of Jewish culture. A place to confront stereotypes, prejudices and promote respect for difference and diversity. Today, virtual museums are setting trends around the world and Aleph and the Centro Unión Israelita, through this project, could contribute to the development of new modes of cultural and educational consumption for our communities.
