Jewish Culture Day
Impressions from 2021
The Culture Day (short for European Day of Jewish Culture) presents the many facets of Judaism and highlights their local, regional and national significance. The aim of the Culture Day is to spread awareness of the cultural richness of Jewish life, as well as to create and spread narratives about it.
Celebrating diversity in Judaism can contribute to a pluralistic and inclusive Europe. One means of moving towards this goal is dialog. This dialog between the different streams of Judaism, between religions and against prejudice, is celebrated on the first Sunday in September.
