International Green Week
One of the largest agricultural fairs is not just a trade fair, but actually a huge foodie mecca, with many offers for both adults and families. There is even a suggested route for families, but if you're foodies, I would also suggest to find the time to be there on your own . It is huge and a bit overwhelming, just saying :-)
Messe
from Friday, January 19th through Sunday, January 28th
Such a big fair also attracts critique : against industrial agriculture that puts profit above the consumers' health, above the environment or sustainability. On Saturday, a mass demonstration will remind us of the challenges ahead: "Wir haben es satt!" ("We've had enough!") , from Hauptbahnhof, at 11:00
A second demonstration will be on Sunday (11:00) , in Brandenburg Gate, for gender equality

- Parents' evening about the Masorti Primary School
We are planning to open a primary school in fall 2018 and would like to invite you to an informational meeting on Thursday, 25 January at 7.30 pm. Please indicate your interest in attending the meeting by sending an email to schule@masorti.de - with the name of your child/children and which grade(s) they will enter. We will then let you know the place of the meeting (in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf).
The Masorti Primary School will have several defining characteristics:
• Its progressive approach to pedagogy and education, including open class rooms
• Double bi-lingualism: German-Hebrew and German-English (as a continuation of the Masorti kindergartens),
• Consideration of Jewish pluralism as an enrichment
• Welcoming multiple family forms
• Gender equality, especially in Jewish religious practice
