Jewstock – the ultimate Jewish European alternative backpackers festival will be organised for the 5th time in Hungary in 2010 by Marom Budapest. The location of the festival is by a beautiful Lake where you can meet young people from Hungary and abroad, engage in creative programs – discussions, concerts, theatre plays, workshops, local history projects, arts projects, do sports, relax and enjoy being part of a special community with a strong social justice orientation. Las but not least you can participate in a kabbalath shabbath by the Lake and spend a shabbathon together with other progressive and open minded people.
The theme of the festival is ACTIVISM, and the focus of the programs is minorities (Jewish, gipsy, and Slovakian) their challenges, cultural values, history and the possibility of inter-cultural dialogue. Our special guest on the festival will be David Lazar from Israel, who will make interesting workshops and study sessions. We plan to bring the Israeli band: Apples to the festival, and there will be several bands – from hip-hop to jazz.
