Exciting exhibition on Family ready for EDJC 2024, produced by the National Library of Israel
The European Days of Jewish Culture 2024 team is delighted to announce the completion of its latest exhibition, produced by the team of National Library of Israel, created specifically for the EDJC 2024. Under the theme “Family,” this exhibition offers a compelling exploration of the historical, cultural, and religious importance of family within Judaism.
This captivating exhibition comprises eight meticulously curated panels that guide visitors through various aspects of Jewish family life. From the foundational role of family values in Jewish tradition to the stories of influential families, the exhibition delves into the concept of chosen families, the significance of genealogy, marriage traditions, the parent-child relationship, family rituals, and the themes of separation and reunion.
Organisers and coordinators of the EDJC 2024 are encouraged to download, translate if necessary, and print the exhibition to enrich their local events. This exhibition is designed to be highly accessible and adaptable, making it an excellent resource for educational activities, cultural festivals, and community gatherings. By incorporating these profound insights and captivating stories, organisers can enhance cultural understanding and appreciation within their communities.
Moreover, the processes for organising an activity are ready and available. All necessary information can be found at the EDJC website, where organisers can submit their activities to the AEPJ. Submitted activities will be reviewed for inclusion in the official programme of the festival, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve.
The AEPJ and the National Library of Israel is confident that this exhibition will be a valuable addition to the European Days of Jewish Culture 2024, fostering a deeper connection to Jewish heritage and family values. We look forward to seeing these stories brought to life across Europe, enriching the cultural tapestry of our communities.
