Feasts & Solidarity
THE FEASTS THAT BRING US TOGETHER
Throughout the Jewish calendar, the Torah invites us to remember, to pass on, to celebrate and to care for one another.
“A feast is only truly complete when everyone can live it with dignity.”
Calendar: choose your city to determine the Israel or Diaspora context.
Some feasts do not last the same number of days in Israel and in the Diaspora.
