European Day of Jewish Culture in Istanbul
For the past 10 years, on the first Sunday of September, from Germany to Portugal, from France to Russia, from England to Spain with 30 different European countries participating, the European Day of Jewish Culture has been held. The purpose of the organization running, which comes up with a different theme each year, is to share the cultural and historical heritage of the Jews with the rest of the people in these countries.
The European Day of Jewish Culture has been held for eight years in İstanbul. The events for that day, Sept. 6, took place in İstanbul’s Galata district and aimed to help the public at large discover the cultural and historical heritage of Judaism.
The events in İstanbul included exhibitions, concerts and panels. The highlight was the symbolic circumcision ceremony, along with the iftar, or Ramadan dinner, that took place at Beyoğlu’s Municipality Building. As the European Day of Jewish Culture has coincided with Ramadan this year, the iftar was held as a symbol of unity between cultures.
