What is the Joyfully Jewish Project?
The idea for Joyfully Jewish was born on a train journey from Edinburgh to Inverness in the summer of 2024. The inaugural production took the form of a night of new Jewish writing (one hour, three plays, three Sunday nights in November 2024) as part of the Tsitsit Jewish Fringe Festival. The idea of Joyfully Jewish is to remind people what being Jewish in the UK is really about, taking a break from conflict, Antisemitism and trauma and instead focusing on culture, family, relationships, food – the joys of being Jewish – and sharing them with Jewish and non-Jewish audiences alike, whilst creating a safe space for Jewish creatives.
Joyfully Jewish is presented by Echoes Theatre Company, which is a registered charity, and has been generously supported by the Pauline and Harold Berman Charitable Trust.
