Abstract: (En) The article briefly presents the work of the late Dr. Leon Volovici, focusing on his life-long interest in Jewish Romanian intellectual history and on his concept of "double cultural
rooting". Starting from the theme of his only biographical work, De la Iaşi la Ierusalim şi înapoi (From Iaşi to Jerusalem and back), the text aims at connecting Dr. Volovici's personal experience of "living between spaces" and traveling permanently between Romania and Israel with his research interest in the Romanian-Jewish intellectual relation - ships. The article eventually underlines Leon Volovici's intellectual legacy.
