Days of Jewish Culture
18 to 26 April 2026
The 35th Days of Jewish Culture will take place this year from 18 to 26 April under the motto "Tacheles und Schmonzes" - i.e. plain language and gossip. The present is often characterised by supposed plain language and too little humour - the programme deliberately sets a counter-accent here.
In 2026, Saxony will be hosting the theme year "Tacheles - Jüdisch. Saxon. Mentshlich." 100 years after the founding of the first state association of Jewish communities. The aim is to make Jewish life visible in all its diversity.
Even beyond the festival, readings, concerts and lectures will ensure that people talk with a smile and name what moves them in plain language.
