A series of exhibitions highlighting the history of Wales’ Jewish communities is touring across south Wales.

Voices and Images of the South Wales Jewish Community will be shown at both Bargoed and Caerphilly libraries next month.

The bilingual exhibitions and talks are being put together by the Jewish History Association of South Wales.

Jewish people have lived in south Wales for more than 200 years, with small Jewish communities across the south Wales valleys in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, these communities declined from the 1920s onwards.

The exhibition will be at Bargoed Library between November 11 and November 21, with a talk being given at 10am on November 11.

It will move on to Caerphilly Library between November 21 and December 1, with a talk at 6pm on November 29.
