Jewish-Israeli Cultural Days Thuringia
From 08.03. to 23.03.2023
Founded in 1991, the Förderverein für jüdisch-israelische Kultur in Thüringen e.V. (Association for the Promotion of Jewish-Israeli Culture in Thuringia), together with the Jewish Community of Thuringia, has since then brought diverse facets of Jewish life to small and large stages throughout Thuringia every year.
The Culture Days see themselves as a cross-genre and culturally mediating festival. Readings, concerts, lectures, tours, workshops and film screenings create opportunities for encounters in many Thuringian cities and communities. Venues are synagogues and established cultural venues - coordinated with the respective municipal partners.
One highlight in 2023 will be the concert of Israeli singer NOA. More information and the full program here.

"Reflect and Plan" – seminar for existing partnerships in German-Israeli youth exchange
From 27.06. to 29.06.2023
In cooperation with the Israel Youth Exchange Authority, ConAct invites you to Berlin to a bilateral seminar for existing partnerships in German-Israeli youth exchange. The aim is to discuss and reflect on existing exchange practices bilaterally and concretely:
1. What are current challenges in the logistical planning and pedagogical design of exchange projects?
2. How are the participating young people or professionals involved in the planning and implementation processes of the project?
3. How can we make our project sustainable and environmentally conscious?
4. Are we up to date with our content and pedagogical methods?
Active partnerships in German-Israeli exchange – with the participation of project leaders from both countries – are cordially invited to discuss these questions, to exchange experiences and to work together creatively!
<mark>To the registration form for German organizations – Israeli organizations please refer to ilona@youthex.co.il – both partners need to register!</mark>

Haredi feminism in Israel: A candid discussion (webinar)
On 7:00 pm at 20.02.2023 (CET UTC+01:00)
The New Israel Fund (NIF) Germany and Bet Debora invite you to a talk with two inspiring forerunners of Haredi feminist activism in Israel: Pnina Pfeuffer, founder and CEO of *New Haredim* and Esty Shushan, a Haredi and Mizrachi social activist and entrepreneur, founder and CEO of *Nivcharot – Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Women for Voice and Equality*.
Guided by their own personal experiences, the discussion will touch upon the meaning of feminism and activism in a Haredi society, look at the changes they aspire to introduce into Israeli politics, and consider several burning issues pertaining to the identity of Israeli society and to the place of the Haredi communities within it, such as: gender equality, integration of “secular” subjects (i.e., mathematics, English, and Hebrew) within the Haredi school system, participation in academia, the labour market and in the army.
