The San Diego Center for Jewish Culture is pleased to present the 2022-2023 Arts & Ideas season, which will offer in-person and virtual events. This season features a reimagined Book Festival, inspired by Book Fairs of the past, as well as Shabbat dinners with chefs and cookbook authors, Israeli jazz, and much more.

This season’s focus is on masa, a Hebrew word that means journey. As a Jewish value, it encompasses reflection, return, and renewal along a continual path. Traditional programming, like concerts, lectures, and comedy performances will be complemented by experiential opportunities for those who crave more hands-on engagement.
