The festival's inauguration day will celebrate the 150th anniversary through a feat of music and word, kasher food and creative entertainment for children, but also through a moment of collective reflection.

The inscription, meaning "the Righteous among the nations will have a part in the future world" and "to the Righteous worldwide, who dedicated their lives to a better world. By the Jewish Community of Milan", is in Hebrew and Italian:

(תוספתא סנהדרין פרק יג)
