Festival of Dangerous Ideas, Johannesburg

Our Second Festival: Bigger, Better, Bolder

What does it mean to be Jewish in 2026, when the world is watching, the community is divided, and silence feels like complicity?

The JDI's second Festival of Dangerous Ideas brings together the voices you won't hear at your shul, your dinner table, or your corporate gala. Over two extraordinary days, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 July, we host the conversations that matter most, simultaneously in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Discounts for early bookings!

Check out our programme and speaker biographies. Secure parking available.

Two days. One question: what can we Jews do now?
