This year’s European Days of Jewish Culture will kick off this year on September 7, 2025, with participating events and activities programmed from September to November.
The unifying theme this year is People of the Book.
A pan-European festival of tourism and education centered on Jewish built heritage, the EDJC has become Europe’s most successful cross-border Jewish cultural initiative.
Aimed mainly at local people, it takes place in more than 25 countries and seeks to educate about the role of Jewish heritage, culture, and history in local, regional, and Europe-wide context, among other things in order to demystify the Jewish world and promote understanding.
The EDJC was founded in 1999 as the European Day (today Days) of Jewish Culture. It is coordinated by the AEPJ which offers training, resources and support to any organisation, institution or individual who wishes to organise an activity that allows Jewish culture to be shared with the whole of society. For a number of years, it has benefitted from collaboration with the National Library of Israel, which has developed exhibition and other materials.
If you want to organize activities under the EDJC umbrella, please fill in this form to submit your event to the EDJC website.
If you want to submit several events, you can re-fill the form as many times as you need. A moderator will review the content and shortly it will be uploaded to the website.
Our friends at the AEPJ, which coordinates the EDJC, has posted detailed information about the events, theme, and other aspects of the EDJC — click this link to find everything.
The AEPJ has also posted a wide range of resources and other material on its web site, with more information expected as the EDJC draws closer.
For any questions or information please contact [email protected].

Great the Jewish Museum in Manchester are planning a special six month exhibition starting in July called ‘Adapting Times’ by artist Beverley-Jane Stewart focusing not only on the British Jewish Social history but the spreading links Jews have as immigrants from other countries and how they have adapted to change. It will also be promoted through the museum.
