Mozaika (Associació Plataforma Mozaika per la Promoció de la Cultura Jueva de Catalunya) is a non profit organisation that promotes Jewish Culture in Barcelona. One of our main goals is to popularise Jewish culture and bring it closer to a wider audience, to make it accessible, to share doubts and a few certainties with those who are willing to come near, so we may celebrate life together, as we have always liked to do. We aspire to emancipate prejudices, stimulate curiosity, agitate debate, disciplines and styles, to sail upon one’s own seas and beyond, to become a rendez-vous with art and the liberty to ease our mutual understanding, dialogue and peace.

Working with Jewish heritage comes in many forms and we try to engage with the public in all ways we can, concerts, book presentations, lectures, food experiences, even stand up comedy is something people find in our cultural agenda. Once a year we organise and host Sefer a Jewish Book Festival. We hold interreligious, intercultural and international projects and activities working hand in hand with organisations such as Salam Shalom, the municipality of Barcelona and the European Union. 

We are working hand in hand with the Cathedral of Barcelona in an exhibition that presents documents from the Medieval Jewish Community, it's a project that combines research and dissemination of the amazing collection of documents held in the archives of The Cathedral.

And last but not least, one of our main projects is Casa Adret, a XII Century house in the middle of the old Jewish Quarter in Barcelona, one of the only places people can come in and feel the History in every step and stone. The oldest house in Barcelona that people can actually come in and have a taste of Jewish History. Casa Adret is the headquarters of Mozaika and the AEPJ. A hub where people come to work on making richer Jewish Cultural life.
