The International festival of Jewish culture “SHALOM IN ALL THE WORLD” says “Shalom” to Klaipeda once again.

Despite our deep disappointment that both the Mayor of Klaipeda and the Lithuanian Council of Culture decided not to allocate any funding for the festival whatsoever, we remain absolutely committed to bringing the festival once again to the citizens of Klaipeda this year.
So, during the festival Jewish music and culture will be celebrated and performed at the highest professional level. Of course, due to this lack of financial support at local and national level, our options will be limited and some of our anticipated events will be unable to take place. Furthermore, the festival team will work on a purely voluntary basis, without any payment.
Nevertheless, be assured,”Shalom in All The World” will go ahead!
The Festival will happen thanks to the understanding and appreciation of munificent institutions, generous-hearted people and benevolent performers.
Throughout the month of September we will invite you to become acquainted with the music of the Jewish people, to experience its beauty, richness and joyfulness. To get to know the world renowned, but rarely mentioned in Lithuania, creators, nurturers and performers of this music.
This year the festival will also take place in Salantai and Gargzdai as well as in Klaipeda.
We are very much looking forward to meeting and greeting all friends of the festival. We warmly welcome all people who respect, love and embrace the history and culture of the Jewish and its close ties and affinities with that of Lithuania.
