Our mission is to create an exciting and dynamic Jewish community, celebrating the reality and the diversity of modern Jewish life in Luxembourg. The synagogue warmly welcomes all Jews who wish to join our open and inclusive community.

Presentation of our organisation

The Jewish Community of Esch-sur-Alzette is an open and inclusive community with a diverse membership from across the Grand Region of Luxembourg.

We respect tradition and modernity, which is reflected by our rituals and practice, and welcome all Jews and their families who wish to participate in our activities and build our community.

The rich diversity of the community is apparent in the origins of our members, be they from Luxembourg or international, Ashkenazi or Sephardi, Francophone or Anglophone (or any other language), traditional or liberal, religious or secular, or somewhere in between.

We recognise our diversity but focus on what unites us, namely our Jewishness. Each of us has a different sense of what it means to be Jewish, but our broad definitions seek to open the doors of our community to all who wish to dwell within.

Our desire to preserve our traditions and heritage whilst staying in touch with the realities of twenty-first century life encourages us to maintain a pluralistic outlook and practical approach to Jewish ritual. We do not discriminate between our members according to their gender or sexuality. Each member can play a full part in the life of our community, and is encouraged to do so.

We acknowledge that many Jews today live happy lives in mixed-faith relationships. We welcome them and their families, and encourage their children to receive a Jewish education in our Talmud Torah. We require a process of affirmation of Judaism for all our children before their bar-mitzvah/bat-mitzvah, to strengthen their connection to their heritage.
