Celebration of Jewish Culture in Miskolc
This September, we invite Jewish and non-Jewish communities in and around Miskolc to take part in a special one-day event celebrating the richness of Jewish culture and traditions. The program creates space for both adults and children to learn, enjoy, and share in a unique communal experience.
At the heart of the event is a musical performance that introduces audiences to the beauty and diversity of Jewish music, creating an atmosphere of warmth and connection. To mark the upcoming Jewish New Year, we also host a lecture and informal discussion exploring the symbolism of holiday foods such as honey, apples, and fish heads, as well as the idea of Jews as the “People of the Book”.
Children can enjoy creative craft workshops, offering a fun and engaging way to discover Jewish culture, while participants of all ages are invited to taste kosher food specialties.
The event also fosters dialogue and personal connections. By bringing together community members, leaders, and curious residents, we aim to strengthen ties within the Jewish community, welcome non-religious Jews into cultural life, and build bridges with non-Jewish neighbors.
Through music, learning, creativity, and food, this celebration promotes peaceful coexistence, dialogue, and mutual understanding.
The event takes place after 15 September 2025 (exact date to be announced).
The event is organized by the Municipality of Miskolc in partnership with The Miskolc Jewish House, operated by the EMIH – Hungarian Jewish Federation.
The event is part of the Cities Embracing Jewish Heritage initiative supported by the Combat Antisemitism Movement and the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage

Hommage to Hermann Leopoldi
Program: “Treten’s nur herein”
The town hall of Lackenbach opens its doors for a very special evening dedicated to the life and work of Hermann Leopoldi – the famous Jewish songwriter, composer, and cabaret artist of the mid-20th century.
Born Hersch Kohn (1888–1959) in Vienna, Leopoldi survived the concentration camps of Dachau and Buchenwald and went on to become one of Austria’s most beloved entertainers, also achieving great success during his years in the United States. His witty, humorous, and heartfelt songs continue to inspire and delight audiences today.
The program “Treten’s nur herein” is conceived as a theatrical homage: a performance where well-known and lesser-known Leopoldi songs are presented in a lively and engaging way, with the audience invited to join in and become part of the show.
Concert by the Preßburger Klezmer Band in the Orthodox synagogue is a unique opportunity for local people as well as tourists to discover our city and Jewish history through extraordinary music experience in synagogue.
The band performs characteristic emotional klezmer music – traditional Jewish melodies sung in Yiddish, Slovak and English are mixed with music from the Balkans and oriental music. The music is complemented by elements of Slovak folk music, interspersed with elements from jazz, rock, reggae and Latin.
The event will be held as part of the summer cultural program themed with cultural and genre diversity.
