DIRECTION OF THE YEAR

Belonging and living tradition

JKFest 2026 highlights art, conversations and experiences that can strengthen the sense of belonging and give living tradition new forms in the public. The festival will provide strong encounters here and now, but also greater understanding, new perspectives and a deeper awareness of Jewish life, minority experience and the society we share. In this way, the experience gains value on several levels: as presence, as reflection and as something that can be carried forward.
