For Jews around the world, the Friday evening dinner that opens Shabbat is a time to gather for rest and reflection. This monthly series invites people of all backgrounds and diverse views to come together in solidarity, respect, and rooted in the plurality in Jewish identity, German identity, and other identities in Berlin today. Together we will work through issues like anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Semitism, ethno-nationalism, memory culture, the war economy, de-colonial land stewardship, and Germany’s Staatsräson.
We have one shared table and invite you to bring a friend with different political beliefs than your own.
This event series is held in collaboration with Jüdische Stimme (Jewish Voice for Just Peace in the Middle East)
