Our Work

The Liberal Jewish Community in Ljubljana is a beacon of diversity, culture and understanding. It has opened its doors for all Jews in Slovenia and visiting Slovenia. Even though the Jewish community in Slovenia is small, we were always determined to keep tradition alive, to keep the memory and to give the community a chance to persevere. We have kept alive not just the Jewish religious tradition, but the tradition of Jews banning together, supporting and celebrating each other. The very spirit that preserved the Jewish identity through the years, the spirit that ultimately lives today in Israel, most of all. 
Keepers of the flame, for all Holocaust victims in Slovenia and ultimately the gatekeepers to our ancestors and their lives. It was precisely the Jewish Cultural Center and now the Liberal community that researched, collected and preserved the history and memory. 

We were the main Jewish center in Ljubljana that organized large celebrations for every holiday, that organized Shabbat dinners with Kosher food and that organized many traditional and educational events, seminars, debates, book discussions and historical manifesttions. 

Now with the onslaught of many orthodox and otherwise, communities in Slovenia, our community is fighting for our place and our survival. 
We have envisioned a community center that will hold all three pillars of our community under one roof. 
The history in the form of a museum with a permanent Holocaust exhibition. 
The religion in the form of a synagogue and shabbat celebration hall. 
The culture in the form of a cultural center with a workshop and exhibition space. Adjacent are the halls of the Mini theater which brings Jewish culture from all over the world, to its stage in Ljubljana. 

All this is already well underway, but in order to complete our vision, we need your help. 

Let us take you through a journey of what was already achieved and what can be achieved if you decide to be a part of it.
