About Us

15 Years of Reviving Jewish Life in the Balkans

For over fifteen years, our Chabad-led work has helped rekindle Jewish life across the Balkans with a focus on dignity, continuity, and belonging. Through daily community presence and practical support, we create a welcoming Jewish home for residents, students, and travelers alike.

Today, active centers in Tirana and Thessaloniki serve as anchors for prayer, education, holiday celebrations, and pastoral care. Together, these centers strengthen Jewish identity while reconnecting families to a living heritage that spans generations.

Dear Partners,

Jewish life in the Balkans has endured profound hardship, yet its spirit has never disappeared. Our mission is to help this spirit flourish again by rebuilding community infrastructure, supporting families, and creating meaningful access to Jewish learning and tradition.

From Tirana to Thessaloniki, we are restoring a living bridge between the past and the future through prayer services, holiday observance, education, youth engagement, and compassionate care for every Jew who seeks a home. This work is ongoing, practical, and deeply historic.

With your partnership, we can continue to strengthen Jewish continuity across the region and ensure that the next generation inherits not only memory, but a vibrant and active Jewish future.
