Welcome

The Oxford Jewish Heritage Committee was established by The Oxford Jewish Congregation (OJC) in Autumn 2006. The Committee has now been joined and supported by several prominent historians in this field.

At the heart of the project is an aim to raise the profile of Oxford Jewish history from earliest records through to modern day community activities. All information is delivered to the highest standards of historical accuracy and academic practice.

Highlights include detailed maps of Medieval Jewish Oxford, an Inventory of Hebraica and Judaica in the Oxford Colleges, Blue Plaques for famous Oxford Jews and much more.

The Jewish Heritage Committee's website was launched in September 2009 and is a work in progress. So remember to save the page and keep checking for updates as we take you on the journey through Oxford's Jewish History.
