Jewish Community
of Malmö

The Jewish Community of Malmö is there for all Jews
regardless of age, lifestyle, background and degree
of religiosity. The Community is working to ensure
that the region's Jews have access to a wide range
of Jewish culture, celebrations, events, religious
services, kosher food and Jewish education. The
Jewish Community is responsible for representing
Jewish interests in the society and for countering
antisemitism.

Danir's involvement is primarily connected to the
vulnerable situation with antisemitism the Jews have
had to face in Malmö. As a result of this unfavourable
atmosphere, the Jewish Community has declined
from over 2,500 to about 500 members over a few
decades. At the same time, the community's security
costs have increased considerably. In this situation, it
is important to actually support the Jewish Commu-
nity in order to protect the Jewish minority, which
since the middle of the 19th century has positively
contributed Malmö's development and cultural life.
