Since its first edition in 2011, Jerusalem Design Week has become the largest and most influential public design event in Israel, attracting more than 40,000 visitors each year. 

Jerusalem Design Week will take place from 22 to 29 June 2023 in Israel. 

The annual theme of Jerusalem Design Week 2023 is "Lies and Falsehoods". The theme will explore the role of design in contemporary culture through an up-to-date investigation of deceptiveness. It will seek to examine design’s manipulative tools and the realities they shape.

The annual central theme focuses on situations that are unique to Jerusalem and Israel, as well as having international relevance. This stems from the idea that Israel’s cultural landscape allows it to serve as a living laboratory for the exploration of urgent global issues and is based in the belief that design must respond to these issues. 

Jerusalem Design Week was initiated by the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage and the Jerusalem Development Authority. It is managed by the Ran Wolf Company.
