On September 13, 2026, we invite you to visit Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, where we will celebrate the year 5787 according to the Hebrew calendar with the third International Shofar March and the Vilnius Shalom Festival opening concert.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vilnius has long been an important center of Jewish religion and culture, often called the Jerusalem of the North. For the third year in a row, the Almighty gathers Jews, Christians, and people of goodwill from many countries in this city so that we may celebrate Rosh Hashanah together as one family.<\/p>\n

The Shofar March will begin with a prayer for peace on the Hill of Three Crosses. The festive procession will then make its way through the streets of Vilnius and reach Town Hall Square, where the festival\u2019s opening concert will take place. The program will feature Jewish music performed by the Lithuanian Symphonic Wind Orchestra and soloists from Lithuania, Armenia and Israel. In the very heart of Vilnius, there will be Hebrew dances and traditional Rosh Hashanah refreshments.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss this special event \u2014 join us, march through the streets of Vilnius, carry your national flag, and if you have one, blow your shofar.<\/p>\n
