The Steinhardt Jewish Heritage Festival, at the BAM in New York, is an annual festival exploring the complexity of contemporary Jewish identity with a series of themed music and literature events.
The Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life believes that Jewish identity should be strengthened through a wide variety of cultural and artistic offerings. With this in mind, we support Steinhardt Jewish Heritage Festival at BAM. Now entering its third year, Steinhardt Jewish Heritage Festival is a multi-faceted celebration of Jewish culture. Throughout the month, BAMcinematek plays host to the annual Brooklyn Jewish Film Festival; a live series of Jewish music at the BAMcafe; and a series of BAMtalks focusing on major cultural issues of significance to the Jewish community. The goal is to infuse contemporary and traditional Jewish arts and culture in a major secular venue to attract and inspire Jews who ordinarily do not participate in Jewish community events.
