Hundreds of events will take place in more than two dozen countries, from September through November, and in some cases beyond….exhibitions, guided tours, workshops, performances, book events, food tastings, lectures, and more….
The overall theme this year is Family.
Most events can be accessed via the drop down menus on the general web site.
But some countries — like Italy (where the EDJC kicks off Sept. 15), the UK, Austria, France, and Switzerland — have their own web sites with much more information and links to programs and events. You can access these national web sites from the general EDJC web page link.

The Tayar Foundation for Jewish Heritage in Malta is hosting An Evening of Jewish History in Malta on October 22, 2024, at the Aula Prima Hall, University of Malta, Valletta Campus. The event is moderated by Mr. John Mallia, Broadcaster and TV Producer, and features two talks, one by Prof. William Zammit on his book “Slavery, Treason and Blood,” which details the 1749 plot by Muslim slaves to assassinate Grandmaster Manuel Pinto de Fonseca, foiled by the Jewish proselyte Joseph Cohen.
The second one, by Prof. Conrad Thake, will explore the history of Malta’s three Jewish cemeteries: the Kalkara cemetery for Jewish slaves, Ta’ Braxia Cemetery, and the modern Marsa cemetery. He will discuss the cemeteries’ origins, burial practices, and their artistic and architectural significance. The event starts at 6 PM, followed by a light reception. Attendance is by invitation only, which can be requested by filling out the form available here.
