“The European Jewish Association is the largest federation of Jewish organizations and communities actively working all over Europe. Our two main goals are: - To strengthen Jewish Identity and expand Jewish activities in Europe; - To defend Jewish interests in Europe.”

“The modern European Jewish communities are facing challenges that go beyond the scope of regional initiatives, and possess only limited resources. Most Jews in Europe are not part of any community, while most children and students have a very limited knowledge of our culture and traditions. As the level of Antisemitism in Europe is growing with each passing year, the European Jewry must therefore act and defend its interests and future.”
