Days of Jewish Culture

November 12 - 22, 2026

In 2026, the Jüdische Kulturtage will once again be a celebration for the senses - featuring music, film and literature.

The Jewish Culture Days (German: Jüdische Kulturtage), organized by the Jewish Community of Berlin, will take place again in 2026. Cultural manager Abraham Toubiana will serve as artistic director. Together with Sara Nachama, the Jewish Community's director of cultural affairs, he will put together a diverse program that showcases the many facets of Jewish culture. The theme of the 39th Jewish Culture Days is "Zaddikim - Time for the Righteous."

Jazz, Soul, Pop, Rock, Literature, Talks and Worship

The Jewish Culture Days offer a glimpse into the diversity of Jewish culture. With jazz, soul, pop, rock, world music, synagogue music, classical music, comics, literature, lectures, public religious services and a large festival, the event also gives non-Jewish visitors the opportunity to learn about Jewish life.
