Rabbi of Venice’s storied Jewish community fights for Jews to return
Jewish tourists stroll over one of the bridges that delineate the borders of the ghetto of Venice in northern Italy on March 22, 2016. The Jews of the world's first ghetto, marking its 500th anniversary, advise patience and integration to Europe as it struggles with the challenge of mass migration. In March 1516 the leader of the Venetian Republic and his senate decreed to confine the city's Jews on an island. Venice gave the world the word "ghetto", with its infamous connotations through the centuries. Photo courtesy of Reuters/Alessandro Bianchi
