A bold initiative to infuse Jewish arts and culture into our community, the Collaborative brings together the Boston Jewish Music Festival, the New Center for Arts and Culture, and an array of cultural and Jewish organizations.

Tradition meets innovation. Matzah balls collide with molecular gastronomy. Modern dancers leap to electrified ancient melodies. After 3,500 years of wandering through deserts and sailing across oceans, Jewish culture is about to embark on another journey with the launch of the Jewish Arts Collaborative.

Whether in the shtetl or in the suburbs, the Jewish people have inhaled the cultures of the world, mixed them with our unique perspectives, and exhaled something beautiful. Our mission - and passion - is sharing that beauty, in its many forms and styles, with you. From Austrian silent movies to Yemenite rock'n'roll, from Shylock's Venice to Sholom Aleichem's Lower East Side, you'll find surprises, inspiration, and just plain fun in our inaugural season.
