Dear friends,

 Welcome to the website of the Jewish Congregation of Mulhouse.

 Our new Administrative Commission has decided to develop this new media to enable all our members, and especially the ones, remotely located, but however faithful to our institution, to keep easily in contact with us.

 This website aims also to promote Mulhousian Judaism, through its history and in its continuous living development, close to all of those who wish to learn, follow or simply live, our so peculiar Jewish life in our beloved city, but also in the whole wide world. What a pride and a joy to regularly monitor new connexions to our website from all around the world!

 The Jewish Congregation of Mulhouse is nowadays the second Jewish Community in Alsace in size, behind the large Jewish Community of Strasbourg. As an historical community, firstly formed of people coming from the Rhineland, the Jewish Congregation of Mulhouse has become a melting pot, improved by the entry of Polish Jews and later by Sephardim.  Today, we have to reach a new milestone and need to insufflate some new dynamism in our community, to "be born again”, as would say the slogan of our City: “ la Renaissance de Mulhouse”. This will allow all its members, and in particular its children, to learn, live and transmit a rich and tolerant Judaism, facing its future and respecting our ancestral Laws.

        Under the supervision of our two rabbis, Rav Elie Hayoun and Rav Mardochée Amar, helped by our talented ‘Hazan Mr Jacky Hermann (you have been able to hear its fantastic voice in the home page of our web site), we are promoting these values on  daily services specific to both Ashkenazi and Sephardic rites on Sabbath and Holy Days.

 Our Talmud Torah offers classes for our young members on Wednesdays and Sundays. We are also proposing some adult courses from time to time. Various other cultural and recreational activities are organized throughout the year (thematic events, conferences, debates…). Most of them are orchestrated by “satellite“ groups of our Congregation, like B’nai B’rith, WIZO (Women International Zionist Organization), ABRI (charity organization), AUJF (French Jewish Unified Social Fund ), AMIF (French Jewish Doctors Organization), but also by some associations building some bridges between cultures and religions, like the Jewish-Christian friendship group and “Bible et Culture”.

 For obvious security reasons, some sections of this website have a restricted access. Only members of Mulhouse Jewish Community can access these pages. In case you wish to subscribe and become a member, please contact us by e-mail or call our secretary.

 In addition, we kindly encourage you to print and fill it our donation form. Your financial support is vital for us, and we look forward hearing from you in a very near future. You would be so kind to support the development of our Jewish life in Mulhouse.
