Religion - Jewish associations in the DACH region sign friendship agreement

The three Jewish umbrella organizations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have signed a cooperation agreement at the Community Day organized by the Central Council of Jews in Berlin. "The agreement is a commitment to self-confident and diverse Jewish life in German-speaking countries and provides for increased cooperation and cross-border coordination to promote Jewish life and in the fight against anti-Semitism," according to a statement on Sunday.

The agreement was concluded between the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the Israelitische Religionsgesellschaft Österreich and the Schweizerischer Israelitischer Gemeindebund. Their presidents stated: "This sign of cohesion and cooperation between our organizations is particularly important in these times when Jewish life is also under threat in Europe."

With the friendship treaty, they reaffirmed their commitment to the state of Israel as the home of the Jewish people. They also pledged their efforts to take action against Israel-related anti-Semitism, disinformation and boycott movements.

The Jewish Community Day has been running since Thursday and will continue until Sunday.
