B’nai B’rith Europe lodges participate in the EDJC2021

B’nai B’rith is an international NGO, accredited to the UN, represented at UNESCO and at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, bringing together Jews of any origin to serve the communities in which they live.

This year, in partnership with AEPJ under the umbrella of the NOA project (Networks Overcoming Antisemitism) and with its participation in the Task Force Group, B’nai B’rith Europe has inspired its lodges to become coordinators of the European Days of Jewish Culture with the central theme Dialogue.

Here are the words of Serge Dahan, President of B’nai B’rith Europe:

The European Days of Jewish Culture are celebrated every year during autumn in Europe with the support of B’nai B’rith lodges. The fundamental objective of this European collaboration is to highlight the diversity and richness of Judaism, with the intention of promoting dialogue, mutual recognition and exchange through conferences, concerts, performances, guided tours and other activities.
