What defines Jewish community life today?
The Limmud Festival 2026 celebrates lived Jewish diversity, exchange, and community


Project

Under the motto “The Light That Carries Us,” around 400 participants gathered in Bad Wildungen from April 30 to May 3, 2026, for this year’s Limmud.de Festival. Over the course of four days, participants learned, discussed, and reflected together on the many ways Jewish life is lived in Germany today.

The program brought together religious, cultural, and social perspectives: from Torah study, challah baking, and Yiddish dance to Krav Maga training, creative workshops, and discussions on the future of Jewish life in Germany. This year, particular attention was also given to mentoring and coaching opportunities for young adults, students, and members of Jewish youth organizations. Topics such as identity, remembrance culture, antisemitism, mental health, and social cohesion shaped many of the sessions and conversations.
