Hanover (dpa / lni) - Lower Saxony participates with more than 30 projects in the festival year “1700 years of Jewish life in Germany”, which begins on Sunday.
In this context, hundreds of concerts, exhibitions, discussions and other events are planned in the country, said Lower Saxony's anti-Semitism commissioner Franz Rainer Enste, according to a statement.
"The entirety of all projects shows us that people of the Jewish faith have always enriched the culture of our country and that they are quite simply welcome neighbors," he said.
A modern and diverse German Judaism is also "an expression and yardstick of the positive development status of German society and our federal state".
The festival year will be opened on Sunday by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Cologne.
In Lower Saxony, Jewish communities, museums, universities, schools, educational institutions, associations, foundations, companies and cultural workers participate.
