Free of charge, focused, and without interruption, a lively event atmosphere emerges, where perspectives, impressions, and audience sentiment become immediately tangible.

What it's about: Jewish culture as a resonance space

Under the festival motto 'Mazel Tov,' Rahel Rilling, Shantel, and Prof. Dr. Mirjam Wenzel will discuss together with moderator and cultural journalist Shelly Kupferberg. The focus is on the present and history of Jewish culture as well as Bad Kissingen as an event experience with extraordinary acoustics and ambiance.

Experience in a historic setting

The White Hall, modeled after the Rococo style, offers an elegant stage for clear thoughts and subtle nuances. Crystal chandeliers, mirror doors, and a view into the ornate courtyard frame the discussion – an environment that the organization and event planning of the festival deliberately uses as part of its audience engagement.

Close to artists and topics

The contributors bring expertise and experience: an internationally connected violinist, a genre-crossing musician and producer, the director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, and a prominent moderator. This mix promises depth, relevance, and a lively, respectful debate.

Conclusion

A concentrated conversation format that inspires, informs, and creates a desire for more festival. Those who want to feel the special atmosphere of Kissinger Summer will experience an ideal entry point here – live, free of charge, and in an iconic setting.
