Preserving Jewish Heritage.
Building Jewish Future.
A US based bridge preserving Jewish heritage in Hungary and securing its future through heritage driven initiatives.
What we do
Our Partners
This organization was established in partnership with leading Jewish institutions in Hungary, creating a direct connection between US support and established communal life on the ground.
The country’s largest Jewish religious organization, overseeing a nationwide network of institutions spanning education, healthcare, culture, and social services.
Its network includes Central Europe’s only Jewish hospital, Hungary’s sole rabbinical university, and the country’s oldest Jewish museum.
The largest member community of MAZSIHISZ, bringing together Budapest’s synagogue districts and oversees key educational and communal institutions.
Among its most prominent landmarks is the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe and second largest in the world.
Our Approach
The Problem We’re Solving
Jewish institutions across Hungary are aging, underfunded, and at risk of decline. As these spaces deteriorate, the transmission of history, identity, and community life becomes increasingly fragile.
Who We Help
We support Jewish communities across Hungary, members of the global Hungarian Jewish diaspora, and those seeking to preserve and reconnect with Jewish heritage. Our work serves both local life on the ground and a broader international community.
What We Do
We direct heritage-based initiatives that preserve Jewish heritage and sustain Jewish life across Hungary. Our approach addresses both immediate needs and long-term continuity for future generations.
Why It Matters
Hungary is home to one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities, yet many of the institutions sustaining it are at risk. Preserving these spaces ensures that Jewish life remains active, visible, and meaningful for generations to come.
Introducing The Organization
Mission Statement
To preserve the Jewish heritage of Hungary and build its future through heritage based initiatives that strengthen identity, education, and community life.
Our story
This organization was established in partnership with the Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary (MAZSIHISZ) and the Budapest Jewish Community (BZSH) to strengthen, preserve, and sustain Jewish communal life in Hungary through transatlantic collaboration.
MAZSIHISZ
The Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary, the country’s largest Jewish religious denomination, operates a nationwide network across education, healthcare, culture, and social services – including Central Europe’s only Jewish hospital, Hungary’s sole rabbinical university, and the country’s oldest Jewish museum.
BZSH
The Budapest Jewish Community, the largest member of MAZSIHISZ, unites the city’s synagogue districts and oversees key educational and social institutions. Its landmarks include the Dohány Street Synagogue, which is the largest synagogue in Europe, and Hungary’s leading Jewish Cultural Festival.
With their institutional backing and guidance, our organization serves as a US based bridge – mobilizing support, reinforcing institutional stability, and preserving the religious, cultural, and historical foundations of Hungarian Jewish life.
The Problem We’re Solving
We address the physical deterioration of Jewish institutions, the loss of historical memory, the weakening of identity transmission, and the fragmentation of community life by investing in healthcare, heritage preservation, education, faith, and everyday Jewish living: ensuring that Hungary’s Jewish past is preserved and its Jewish future remains active, accessible, and thriving.
Who we help
The Jewish community in Hungary, members of the Hungarian Jewish diaspora around the world, and all local citizens who are interested in cultural preservation and reconnection.
What we do
We restore, strengthen, and activate Jewish life across Hungary through heritage-based initiatives that serve both present needs and future generations.
Why it matters
Hungary is home to one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities, yet many of the institutions sustaining Jewish life are aging or at risk. As these places deteriorate, history fades and future generations lose
connection to their roots.
This work goes beyond preservation: it safeguards a living heritage by restoring essential infrastructure,
strengthening education and community life, and ensuring Jewish identity in Hungary remains visible and meaningful for generations to come.
