We regard “Open ye the gates” as the foundation of our program. We examine not only the challenges of cultural diversity and difference, but also the encounters between tradition and modernity and the various forms of Judaism. Jewish history in Berlin provides a paradigm for looking at history as a whole from a variety of perspectives – and for imagining the world through the lens of Berlin.
