Jewish Cultural Days in Hamburg: Celebrate diversity on November 4th!

The Jewish Cultural Days in Hamburg are just around the corner! From November 4th to December 14th, 2025, the festival will open its doors and offer a variety of insights into Jewish culture. How fink.hamburg reports, this is the second edition after the successful start in 2023. The organizers are the Jewish Community in Hamburg and the Hermann Reemtsma Foundation, and the goal remains clear: it is about promoting encounters and dialogue between Jewish and non-Jewish people.

With over 40 events planned, the Cultural Days will showcase the enormous diversity of Jewish culture. Visitors can expect offers from various areas such as music, literature and fine art. Plans include, among other things, a tour about the history of FC St. Pauli and HSV under National Socialism, a performance of a Yiddish opera and a kosher cooking course. The Authority for Culture and Media of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg also supports this important festival. Visitors should note that some events have participation fees and the number of participants is limited.

A look at the community

An outstanding face at the cultural days is Rebecca Vaneeva, the chairwoman of a Jewish student association. She has Jewish roots and brings a lot of experience from the media. Her appearances on the “Tagesschau” and contact with prominent personalities such as Robert Habeck speak for themselves. Rebecca, born in 2001, studies social economics and has a great passion for journalism.

There is sad news in a completely different area: Maria Riva, the only daughter of the famous Marlene Dietrich, has died at the age of 100. The Hollywood Reporter reports that she died in her sleep last week at her son's home in New Mexico. Maria Riva, known for her TV appearances in the early days of television, leaves behind not only her sons and grandchildren, but also her literary legacy with several published books about life with her mother and her legacy.

A rich history

Judaism has a long and eventful history, stretching from its beginnings to the present. There are comprehensive accounts of the development of Judaism, from its origins in Canaan to significant events such as the founding of the State of Israel and the Holocaust. A look at Judaism today, with its various trends and challenges, remains of great relevance. E-Forybooks offers an exciting e-book presentation that gives both laypeople and experts interesting insights.

Overall, these current events show how important exchange and engagement with Jewish culture are. We can look forward to the upcoming cultural days events and what the past and present have in store for us.
