Besides concerts, lectures are the key element of the Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow. During Prolog we organized 14 lectures – most of them discussed various aspects of fire or light since these were leading themes for the Prolog and they will be continued during anniversary 30th edition of the festival in 2021.

Prolog’s lecturers include: Rabbi Boaz Pash (IL), Edwin Seroussi (IL), Yossi Klein Halevi (IL), Benjamin Balint (IL), Matti Friedman (IL), imam Abdullah Antepli (TR/US), Karolina Przewrocka-Aderet (PL/IL), Rabbi Małgorzata Kordowicz (PL) as well as Janusz Makuch, who prepared a series of lectures dedicated to symbolic of the light and fire.
