Events in Berlin, January 14-16

The corona regulations are changing yet again, and as usual not in our favour ... As of Saturday, the following rules will apply:

• Restaurants are in G2 + conditions - that is, you should be recovered or vaccinated, and with testing. Exceptions: Those who received a booster, which is equivalent to a test. If you have a booster from another country, it is important to make sure that it is included in the German app.

• Important! This only applies to adults: “Up to and including the age of 18, children and young people are not subject to the 2G or the 2G + regulation. So they can accompany their parents in restaurants. "Children and young people between seven and eighteen years of age have to show a negative test result. A school ID card is also valid as test evidence until the winter holidays.

• Children and young people from the age of 6 can only enter museums and other attractions with a test or school ID.

• On public transport, the ride is with FFP2 masks.

Celebrating the Weekend Outdoors

• One last chance to enjoy the Tierpark light show, which closes on Sunday. 

• Only on Saturdays: The Flohmarkt @Baergarten, in Revier Südost in Schöneweide 

• And just so we'll have something to eat on Sunday as well: the street food market in the Kulturbrauerei is back, this coming Sunday.

Or rather, fun in heated spaces?

• Film music under the starry sky in the Planetarium (Prenzlberg), Sat 8 p.m.

• At FEZ, the "Just Play" program continues with suggestions for the whole family and children between the ages of 2-12 

Jewish Culture

• It's Tu BiShvat and the synagogues in Berlin will hold ceremonies on Sunday. Chabad are delivering "Tu Bishvat" kits (see image below) 

• The Fraenkelufer Synagogue is organising kids activity in the Gleisdreieck Park on Sunday (more information here); 

• On Sunday evening, there will be a virtual Seder Tu B'Shvat that is also suitable for those who do not live in Berlin, of the Fraenkelufer synagogue. Details

• Another event is organised by BASE Berlin and is more adult-oriented, who can join a TuBishvat mindfulness hike in Brandenburg, on Sunday. 

• If you also speak Hebrew, there are a couple of Tu-Bishwat events in Hebrew on my Hebrew blog. 

• High schools in Berlin are holding open days (virtual and with attendance) in the coming weeks, to help sixth- and fourth-graders in high school selections. Among other things, the Moshe Mendelssohn Jewish High School holds a virtual open day (Sunday)
