Tel Aviv University hosted the presentation of the EAJC Yearbook.

On October 21, 2026, the conference "Jewish Culture: Memory, the Written Word, and Modernity" was held, dedicated to Jewish literature, historical memory, and contemporary manifestations of Jewish cultural life.

The conference brought together two distinguished publishing initiatives: the 2024–2025 volume of the yearbook "Jews of Europe and Asia: Status, Prospects, Heritage," supported by the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC), and the 75th issue of the "New Jerusalem Journal."

Both publications reflect distinct yet complementary facets of the broader effort to preserve and advance Jewish cultural and intellectual heritage.

The yearbook "Jews of Europe and Asia: Status, Prospects, Heritage," compiled under the auspices of the Institute for Euro-Asian Jewish Studies (IEAJS), features scholarly research addressing the history, current standing, and future trajectories of Jewish communities. The publication aims to foster critical reflection on the processes shaping contemporary Jewish life and to safeguard this historical experience for future generations.

The "New Jerusalem Journal," a prominent literary publication within Russian-speaking Israel, reflects another dimension of Jewish cultural endeavor. Its pages convene literature, the arts, historical memory, and reflections on contemporary society. The release of its 75th issue affirms the continuity of this literary tradition and highlights the enduring creative dialogue between authors and readers both in Israel and abroad.

Presenting these two publications within a single conference underscores an intrinsic characteristic of Jewish culture: the inseparable link between historical scholarship, literary expression, and contemporary civic experience.

For the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, this event represents an integral part of its ongoing mission to preserve Jewish cultural heritage, advance research and publishing programs, and strengthen ties among Jewish communities and intellectual centers internationally.

The conference offered further testament to the dynamic development of Jewish culture through the collaboration of researchers, writers, publishers, and readers, for whom historical memory remains an essential foundation for understanding the present and shaping the future.
