Love that takes root

"Love That Takes Root"
The motto of the European Days of Jewish Culture 2026 – "Love" – inspires us to look at the history of the Częstochowa Jewish community from a different perspective: not through the lens of tragedy, but of life. We want to tell the story of people who loved their families, their city, their culture, and their traditions. People who, over generations, helped build Częstochowa, leaving behind a heritage that continues to enrich us today.
For centuries, Częstochowa was a meeting point for diverse cultures and religions. The Jewish community played a significant role in the city's development, contributing to its economic, social, and cultural life. Today, the memory of this heritage is preserved through the work of The World Society of Częstochowa Jews, which was led for many years by Zygmunt Rolat, an Honorary Citizen of Częstochowa.

The Battle of Cable Street: A guided heritage tour, celebrating Jewish resilience, the old East End community spirit and love that unites.

Our proposed event is part of Cable Street 90: A Major New Festival of Heritage, Art, Music and Performance Marking 90 Years Since the Battle of Cable Street.
The Battle of Cable Street took place on 4 October 1936, when tens of thousands of East End residents – including Jewish, Irish and other local communities – prevented Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists from marching through the area. Cable Street is often remembered as a single day in history, but its legacy continues to inspire artists because it speaks to universal questions about love, community, identity and collective action.

We plan to hold a walking tour to mark 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street. This event will celebrate the European Days of Culture theme of love.
