The 2020 Jewish Literary Festival was re-imagined as the Jewish Literary Festival@home. “With the postponement of the 2020 edition of the Jewish Literary Festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic we did not want you to miss out on the unique JLF experience so we decided to take the festival online”, explained the organisers.
“The carefully curated offering of JLF2020 is rich and fascinating and, while the heart of the festival is Jewish- themed, the subject matter defies narrow categorisation making it of universal interest. You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy what’s on offer, you just have to love words, reading and conversation.
We invite you to join us at
Our virtual offering will give you exclusive access to some 20+ online sessions and their recordings.
You can now purchase a single ticket at R40 per session or a season pass at R360 or by booking through Quicket.
These webinars will be run on a regular basis and all ticket-holders will be advised timeously by email
Just to whet your appetite, why not have a look at the webinars that we presented in May which were an exclusive offering to our current JLF2020 ticket-holders as a token of our gratitude. Recordings were made available for the wider audience and received very positive feedback.
