CONCEPT

It shall come, that I will gather all tongues (Isaiah 66:18)

Jerusalem has always spoken in tongues. The linguistic history of the city reflects profound historical and religious conflicts, as well as everyday reality of continuous co-existence of different communities and their apocalyptic dreams of messianic unity.

The concept of the Eskolot's Festival of Jewish Texts and Ideas “War and Peace of the Languages: Linguistic History of Jerusalem” is to explore the unique linguistic character of Jerusalem through in-depth analytical study of relevant literary and historical texts.
