The Shalom Foundation has been organizing the Festival of Jewish Culture in Warsaw since 2004. The 100th anniversary of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s birthday was the reason to organize the first edition of this event. The Festival preserves the memory of prewar Jewish Warsaw. The aim of the Shalom Foundation is to reconstruct for a few days the prewar atmosphere of Próżna Street in order to present the annihilated world of the Polish Jews. Every year among the events being part of the Festival are concerts, film screenings, song and dance workshops, paper cutting, ceramics and Hebrew calligraphy.
