IS YOUR COMMUNITY THE COMMUNITY
YOU REALLY WANT?

A SPECIAL FORUM FOR LEADERS OF SMALL JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN EUROPE TO DISCUSS THE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES WHICH OUR COMMUNITIES FACE IN THESE SPECIAL TIMES.

by second time, and due to the great feedback from the first encounter held in Athens, we are ready to launch the second encounter to discuss the specific challenges Jewish communities and organisations with less than 5000 members are facing every day. This is a special space to discuss in peers, learn succesful experiences and exchange of best practises. Small is beautiful is organised by ECJC and JDC in collaboration with UZZNO, the Federation of Jewish Communities in Slovakia.

"To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan and not quite enough time."
