Celebrating Informal Jewish Education in Europe

A bi-annual conference that brings together young leaders and community activists from across Europe to celebrate Informal Jewish Education including contemporary issues, workshops and more.

"Participants from Estonia, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary, Ukraine and Turkey met to help commemorate the victims of the Nazi-regime on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the "Reichsprogromnacht". We learned again, that one should never forget history and that one should always remember. It was a very special "Mifgash", which provided us not only with a multi-faceted and emotional programme, but also enabled us to make contacts on an European level - a chance one doesn`t get so often."
