37th Jewish Culture Days Berlin

Making Jewish culture visible again

The motto of this year's edition of the Jewish Culture Days Berlin is "Light". What would art and culture be without light? Spotlights illuminate the stage and create visibility. So from September 12 to 22, 2024, the motto is: Spot on! The festival illuminates Jewish life in all its colorfulness, versatility and radiance!

The opening concert will feature Israeli singer, ESC participant and actress Shiri Maimon, who will present a best-of of her repertoire and new material accompanied by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. The next few days will also be full of music: singer-songwriter legend David Broza returns to Berlin, while French klezmer band Sirba Octet and Israeli alternative country band Jane Bordeaux will both be making their first guest appearances here. At Cinestar Prenzlauer Berg, the Seret Film Festival presents current cinematic highlights from Israel, while the literature tent on Bebelplatz invites young and old to readings and discourse formats from September 15 to 20. The festival will end on the historic square in Mitte with the completion of a new Torah scroll commemorating and dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attack on October 7. The procession will be accompanied by the music of Hasidic singer Shloime Gertner (UK).Finally, a procession will lead from Bebelplatz to the Beth Zion Synagogue in Brunnenstraße, where the Torah scroll will find its new home.
