Jewish flavors, prayers, and concerts will be available at the II. Debrecen Jewish Street Festival. The last weekend of the summer is worth taking advantage of, as ALL-IN Debrecen will once again focus on the diverse Jewish cultural heritage.
The organizers are preparing music and dance programs, poetry recitals, and educational and local history lectures in Pásti Street. During the day, Jewish cuisine traditions will be presented, with the most authentic dishes and drinks on the menu.
And for those who want to immerse themselves in the culture and religion, there will be a visit to the synagogue and the rabbinical room, film screenings and even a chance to talk to Rabbi Shmuel Faigen.
The program is co-organized by the Debrecen Jewish Community and the Association of Jewish Communities and Organisations in Central and Eastern Europe.
