The celebration, held on Sunday, September 7th 2008, has attracted a large number of visitors to Jewish heritage sites all over Europe

While reports about visitor numbers are still coming in, the overall impression of the event is already that of a huge success. The interest of the wider public in Jewish heritage is increasing every year, mainly due to the joint efforts of organising this European-wide celebration year after year.
The general results of the event will be available soon on this site.

This year\'s theme -MUSIC- proved to hold great attraction, since it offered a great variety of activities, such as guided tours accompanied by music, exhibitions on instruments, or on the role music plays in Jewish life, and, of course, concerts of all kinds of Jewish music: liturgical and lay music, Klezmer, Sephardic music and jazz. At some places, refreshments were being offered; at others, visitors joined in with singing and dancing.
Some locations have established a whole week of events and activities around the EDJC, such as music and cinema festivals, medieval fairs or gastronomic days.

Organizers, both local and national, have expressed their satisfaction about the outcome of the day, and declared their readiness to repeat the experience in 2009.
Watch this site for the first details of the 10th edition of European Day of Jewish Culture 2009 coming soon.

Last, but not least a big \"THANK YOU\" to all the organisers, helpers and volunteers, whose dedication and enthusiasm has made it all possible.
