The festival is a project of the Pantograf Association, and a continuation of its previous programs  – Sound of Synagogues, Rhapsodies on Romanian Themes, and Synagogue Stories – “which aimed to document the stories of synagogues, raise awareness about the importance of these places of worship, and integrate them into a regional and national circuit by creating a connection between material and immaterial heritage.”
 
It is part of the national cultural programme “Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023” and is funded through the Grow Timișoara 2023 programme, implemented by the Center for Projects Timișoara, with funds allocated from the state budget, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture. It also falls under the umbrella of the European Days of Jewish Culture (EDJC).

Romania’s annual Night of Open Synagogues takes place in a number of synagogues around the country.

We know of events in synagogues in Bucharest, where four synagogues will be open, in Satu Mare, and in Iasi.

We have not seen a full list, however.

The synagogues are open to visitors after the close of Shabbat, and there are also various events planned in some of them.
