A Successful and Expanding Edition of the European Days of Jewish Culture 2025
As the 2025 edition of the European Days of Jewish Culture (EDJC) continues to unfold, participation across Europe confirms the strength of our network and its shared commitment to celebrating Jewish heritage.
This year’s edition has already seen remarkable engagement, with 734 submitted activities across 381 cities in 25 countries. Italy, France, and Lithuania lead the list of most active nations, followed closely by Spain, Germany, Hungary, and others — a testament to the dedication of local organisers and communities.
Alina Marincean, newly appointed Manager of the EDJC, took part in several activities in Italy and Stockholm to identify best practices and foster exchange among organisers. Under her leadership and based on information she is gathering on this year’s experiences, the AEPJ will develop a strategic plan for 2026, focusing on programme innovation, partnerships and revamped communication efforts, including a new website.
The well-received NLI travelling exhibition remains a highlight of this year’s events, with further evaluation and planning underway in collaboration with the National Library of Israel for the next edition.
