Launched as an annual initiative in 1997, the Day of Judaism aims to promote Christian-Jewish dialogue, reflect on the links between the two religions and create a forum for joint prayer.
Due to the pandemic, this year’s events, including poetry readings and a concert of Hebrew and Yiddish songs, are being held online.
The motto of the 2021 Day of Judaism is an excerpt from the Old Testament’s Book of Deuteronomy: “I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws.”
