How should the EU change in order to welcome the Other?
How should Poland change within a re-imagined EU?
How should Israel change to become part of the Middle East?
Join international delegates at the first congress of The Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP) to address and answer these questions. For three days we will assemble in Berlin to collectively imagine a new future and to formulate the concrete platform and demands of the movement. The Congress is taking place within the framework of the 7th Berlin Biennale of Contemporary Art and will operate as a symbolic parliament, debating about one question per day.

THE JEWISH RENAISSANCE MOVEMENT IN POLAND!
A Manifesto
We want to return!
Not to Uganda, not to Argentina or to Madagascar, not even to Palestine.
It is Poland that we long for forefathers. In real-life and in our dreams we continue to have Poland on our minds.
We want to see the squares in Warsaw, Łódź and Kraków filled with new settlements. Next to the cemeteries we will build schools and clinics. We will plant trees and build new roads and bridges.
We wish to heal our mutual trauma once and for all. We believe that we are fated to live here, to raise families here, die and bury the remains of our dead here.
We are revivifying the early Zionist phantasmagoria. We reach back to the past — to the imagined world of migration, political and geographical displacement, to the disintegration of reality as we knew it — in order to shape a new future.
This is the response we propose for these times of crisis, when faith has been exhausted and old utopias have failed. Optimism is dying out. The promised paradise has been privatized. The Kibbutz apples and watermelons are no longer as ripe.
We welcome new settlers whose presence shall be the embodiment of our desire for another history. We shall face many potential futures as we leave behind our safe, familiar, and one-dimensional world.
We direct our appeal not only to Jews. We accept into our ranks all those for whom there is no place in their homelands and the persecuted. There will be no discrimination in our movement. We shall not ask about your life stories, check your residence cards or question your refugee status. We shall be strong in our weakness.
Our Polish brothers and sisters! We plan no invasion. Rather we shall arrive like a procession of the ghosts of your old neighbours, the ones haunting you in your dreams, the neigh
We long to write new pages into a history that never quite took the course we wanted. We count on being able to govern our cities, work the land, and bring up our children in peace and together with you. Welcome us with open arms, as we will welcome you!
With one religion, we cannot listen.
With one color, we cannot see.
With one culture, we cannot feel.
Without you we can’t even remember.
Join us, and Europe will be stunned!
Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland
The Congress will depart from a letter of the late leader of the Movement, Sławomir Sierakowski, found after his assassination:
To my friends and comrades,
I can feel that I might be gone soon, but I know that you won’t run out of strength and imagination to change the world. Ties and imagination are what we need to enable the social change that we promised ourselves when we summoned 3.3 million Jews to return to Poland. What we want is to create a world in which such a plan would not simply be dismissed as utopian. Utopia for us seems to be the conviction that there are no alternatives to the existing world.
In today’s world, we are still ruled by fear for our safety and by shame about getting involved. Man is still a wolf to his fellow man, since no tale of a better world engages him more than his own private interest. If we want to overcome the globalized ‘state of nature’ in which we live, we should create social ties. Because only the trust that we have for each other will allow us to get involved in building a better world beyond our personal affairs. I had a dream about what should be changed in Poland. But we need more dreams and imagination to change Europe and the Middle East. And I can promise you that these changes will be big and difficult to carry out. That’s why I’m asking all of you to think about them together. Argue, debate, and choose those that will best serve our cause. The cause of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMIP)! I know that if you get together and trust each other, you will be able to come up with exciting suggestions and give a democratic mandate to our dreams. Each and every one of us is responsible for social change!
Here is my proposal for changes in Poland: 1. Polish citizenship to all immigrants! 2. Reintegration tax to cover the costs of moving 3.3 million Jews to Poland! 3. Hebrew as the second official language in Poland! 4. Dismissal notice of the Polish state concerning the concordat with the Vatican state – each religious institution should act on the same level! 5. Minorities House instead of Senate in Polish Parliament!
Once again I wish you ties and imagination!
…and Europe will be stunned!
Sławomir Sierakowsk
