Morgenstunden. Vorlesungen über das Daseyn Gottes (Morning Hours. Lectures on God's Existence) is the title of Moses Mendelssohn’s final work, published in 1785. Its seventeen lectures bring together his most important themes and questions; in a sense they are his life's questions:
How does tolerance arise in the world? What connects faith and reason? What certain answers are there to our basic existential questions? Why should we talk to each other?

The “Morgenstunden” series of events, which take place alternately in Berlin and Hamburg, bring Moses Mendelssohn’s work into the twenty-first century: well-known personalities address contemporary issues in the light of their own life experiences – always against the backdrop of Mendelssohn’s life themes and his passion for dialogue. Micha Brumlik, publicist and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg, will speak at the Jewish Museum Berlin.
In cooperation with the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the Institute for the History of German Jews, the New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum foundation, the Catholic Academy Hamburg and the Mendelssohn Society.
