The Jewish Community in Denmark (Danish: Det Jødiske Samfund i Danmark) is an umbrella organization representing Danish Jews. The organization is Orthodox, but represents both religious and secular Jews.
About
The Jewish Community of Denmark is an Orthodox religious organization representing around 2,400 Danish Jews, both religious and secular, out of a population of around 6,000 Danish Jews. It is a member of the European Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Congress. Until 2014, the organization was known as the Mosaisk Troessamfund, the Mosaic Faith Community.
History
In 1981, the directors of the community voted 4–3 to remove Bent Melchior as the community's chief rabbi. Melchior was dismissed due to his involvement in a documentary on Jewish life in Denmark, which was criticized for allegedly risking community security. Melchior claimed that members of a rival family with an ongoing antagonism against him were responsible for the push for his dismissal.
In October 2023, during the Israel-Hamas war, the Jewish Community in Denmark and the Danish Zionist Federation organized a pro-Israel march in Copenhagen.
