Diverse venues will host a wide range of events exhibitions, films, concerts, readings and dance performances, courses, tours, lectures and discussions for both adults as well as children.
There’s a choice of 30 events that are focused mainly on understanding and unveiling present Jewish life as well as its future.
Naturally, samples from the Jewish kitchen are also included.
