The ECJC was re-established in 2011 and brings together European Jewish communities and organisations, non-governmental organisations, federations and networks which are working to guarantee Jewish life in Europe for the next Generations to come. The members of the ECJC represent thousands of people in the shape of organisations, associations and voluntary groups at local, regional, national and European level reflecting the different interests of a wide social range including representatives from all walks of Jewish life.
The ECJC is non-political and non-denominational. We take shared responsibility for our communal life. We choose not to affiliate with any of the official Jewish movements but to offer each one of them the platform to reach different constituencies and to enable cross-learning and facilitate experiences of collaboration.
The ECJC is dedicated to offer programmes as gathering places, where people of all ages and from all walks of Jewish life can meet, more inspired by their Jewish heritage and more connected to their communities and to one another.

Our values
As a Pan-European Jewish organisation, the ECJC shares the basic Jewish values:
Democracy: each country, no matter its size or its financial contribution, has one vote, and therefore equal rights to other countries
Transparency: we say what we do, we do what we say
Solidarity: we are responsible for each other.
We strengthen Jewish life across Europe by effectively assisting our member organisations through promoting and developing inter-European networking, facilitating the planning and co-operating in the areas of social welfare, education, heritage, culture, community development and youth & sports.
What we do
We aim to work together to address shared concerns, pool our energies and experience for appropriate strategies and solutions
and invest wisely today to shape the future development of Jewry in Europe
ECJC represents Jewish national communal organisations, communities and city organisations from all over Europe, and it has NGO status with the Council of Europe and the European Union.
ECJC is primarily a platform, offfering to its different affiliates and the whole of European Jewry the opportunity of joining programmes answering to the different local challenges and needs.
