Days of Jewish Culture

Visitors and locals alike are invited to come and learn more about the diverse Jewish cultural life in Berlin during the 34th edition of the Jewish Cultural Days. Running from November 6 to November 18, this cultural festival invites outsiders to explore Jewish culture and its role in the city’s history.

Shalom Berlin: Jewish Culture Days

Organised by the Jewish Community of Berlin, the festival aims to highlight the diversity of Jewish culture in Germany today. Over the years, the festival has become part of the celebrations surrounding the reunification of Berlin following the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. 

The Days of Jewish Culture is dedicated to a different theme each year, which is conveyed through various artistic means, including theatrical performances, readings, discussions, exhibitions, church services and concerts. This year’s event attempts to shed light on the widest possible range of Jewish culture.

Explore the diversity of Jewish culture

This year's lineup features artists such as the band Jewish Monkeys, clarinettist Giora Feidman and iconic classical musician Daniel Barenboim. There will be fun for the whole family and young audiences are equally welcome to take part in the festivities.
