Jewish communities

Hebrew faith congregations

Jewish communities are groups of Jewish people living in a particular place, organized around shared religious, cultural, and social life.

The term often implies formal structures—synagogues, schools, charitable organizations—that bind members together: The Jewish community in Prague dates back a thousand years.

It can also refer loosely to Jewish populations in a region: Jewish communities across Europe.
