The First Baltic Jewish Educational Festival will take place in Riga on January 19, 2026.

Its goal is to highlight the rich Jewish heritage of the Baltic countries, strengthen the ties between Latvia and Israel, and foster connections among Latvia’s ethnic communities. In addition, we aim to bring together the Jewish communities of the Baltic States and create a safe, welcoming space for communication, creativity, and intellectual competition.

We invite everyone to participate. There are no restrictions, and we will be glad for everyone’s contribution. You can take part in:

The Open Hebrew Olympiad

The art competition “The Jewish Letter”

The photo contest “My Jewish Roots”

The essay competition “Stories of the Jewish World”

The expressive reading contest “The Voice of Jewish Literature”

A team-based game on Jewish tradition

Participants can also look forward to surprises, treats, and friendly interaction.
