Record 35 nations to participate in European Day of Jewish Culture
Thirty years after its initiation, the European Day of Jewish Culture will have a record 35 countries participating this year.
Azerbaijan for the first time will be a participant in the intergovernmental project, which this year falls on Sept. 4.
From the Azeri capital of Baku to Belem in Portugal, hundreds of cities and Jewish institutions will join for a series of activities around the theme of Jewish languages. Previous themes have included women in Judaism, intercultural bridges, Jewish humor and Jewish cooking.
