Jewish Community of Estonia

Jewish Community of Estonia Welcome to the page of Jewish Community of Estonia! Tere tulemast Eesti Juudi Kogukonna Facebooki lehele! We are continuously growing and developing.

Jewish Community of Estonia is the heart of Jewish life in Estonia. The history of the modern Jewish Community began in March 1988, when Estonian Society for Jewish Culture was founded. It marked the beginning of the revival of Jewish social life in Estonia after decades of prohibition and oblivion of the Soviet era. In 2018- the year of 10th anniversary of Estonian Republic and 70th anniversary of Stare of Israel - Jewish Community of Estonia celebrated its 30th anniversary! Over the years, we have managed to complete a great number of significant and important projects. With our rather small team, we are trying to implement a variety of significant projects and keep working to make sure that Jewish life in Estonia remains interesting and versatile. We are all committed to helping our Community grow and prosper.

October 7, 2023 - three years ago, Israel awoke to the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

What began as a day of celebration became a day of massacre. Hamas terrorists invaded Israeli communities, murdering civilians - children, families and the elderly - and taking 251 people hostage. Hundreds more were wounded, and an entire nation was plunged into war.

Three years later, October 7 remains a wound that has not closed.

October 7 changed Israel forever.

It changed the way Israelis understand security, home, vulnerability and survival. It left families grieving, communities displaced, and a generation carrying memories that will not disappear.

But October 7 also revealed something else: the resilience of the Jewish people - and the importance of those who refuse to look away.

Three years later, we remember the victims not only by the circumstances of their deaths, but by the lives they lived. We remember their families, whose worlds were shattered. We remember the soldiers and security personnel who gave their lives protecting others. We remember the hostages, and every family that waited for them to come home.

And we remember the responsibility that comes with memory.

The massacre must not be denied.
The victims must not be forgotten.
Antisemitism must not be normalized.
The truth must not be rewritten.

On this third anniversary, we mourn. We remember. We stand with the families who continue to carry the weight of October 7.

And we stand together, as a Jewish people, with Israel, and with all those around the world who refuse to be indifferent to the suffering of others, who reject antisemitism and terrorism, and who understand that remembrance is an act of responsibility.

Three years later, we remember.
We will not forget.
We will not look away.

Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱

In Jewish tradition, a teacher is not only someone who passes on knowledge. A teacher is someone who teaches us to think, to ask questions, to find our own path, and to pass on what we have received.

Today, we thank all teachers for their patience and high standards, for the curiosity they inspire, and for the invisible influence that often becomes apparent only years later.

Thank you for helping the next generation discover their potential and become who they can be.

Happy Teachers’ Day! 📚✨

Juudi traditsioonis ei ole õpetaja ainult see, kes annab edasi teadmisi. Õpetaja on see, kes õpetab mõtlema, küsimusi esitama, oma teed otsima ja saadut edasi kandma.

Täna täname kõiki õpetajaid kannatlikkuse ja nõudlikkuse eest, uudishimu eest, mida nad meis äratavad, ning selle nähtamatu mõju eest, mis annab endast sageli märku alles aastaid hiljem.

Aitäh, et aitate järgmisel põlvkonnal avastada oma võimalusi ja saada selleks, kelleks nad võivad saada.

Head õpetajate päeva! 📚✨

Simchat Torah is approaching - a time to celebrate Torah, tradition and togetherness.

May we rejoice in the gift of Torah, the wisdom that guides us and the traditions that connect generations.

May our community continue to be a place of learning, belonging, friendship and shared memory.

Wishing you and your families peace, joy, light and a year filled with meaning.

Yesterday, the Jewish Community of Estonia welcomed the Ambassador of Germany to Estonia, H.E. Jan Scheer, and Cultural Advisor Zoran Vasic.

During the meeting, we presented the activities of our Community, our main areas of work, ongoing initiatives, and upcoming projects. We also discussed the development of community life and opportunities for further cooperation.

For our Community, it is particularly valuable to maintain an open and meaningful dialogue with the diplomatic corps, representatives of state institutions, and international organizations.

We sincerely thank Ambassador Scheer and Mr. Vasic for their visit, their interest in our work, and the open and constructive conversation. We look forward to continuing this dialogue and developing new joint projects! 🇪🇪🇩🇪✡️

This Shabbat, as we gather in our sukkot, may we remember to appreciate the simple things: a shared table, familiar faces, an open door, and a moment to pause together.

Sukkot is approaching. 🌿

Sukkot brings together several powerful ideas: remembering the journey from Egypt, appreciating what protects and sustains us, welcoming others, and celebrating with joy.

It reminds us that life is not always perfect or permanent — and that makes gratitude, togetherness and the simple act of gathering even more meaningful.

Not because life is always perfect, but because there is always something worth gathering around.

Hag Sukkot Sameah! 🌿

Yom Kippur is the most solemn day of the Jewish year - a day to pause, to fast, to pray, and to reflect on the year that has passed.

Yom Kippur calls us to seek forgiveness and to offer it. To let go of what needs to be left behind and make space for a new beginning.

Wishing everyone observing Yom Kippur a meaningful fast and a peaceful day of reflection.

Gmar Hatima Tova💙

Jom Kippur on juudi aasta kõige pühalikum päev – päev, mil peatuda, paastuda, palvetada ja mõelda möödunud aastale.

Jom Kippur kutsub meid andestust paluma ja seda ka ise andma. Laskma lahti sellest, mis tuleb jätta minevikku, ning tegema ruumi uuele algusele.

Soovime kõigile, kes Jom Kippurit tähistavad, tähenduslikku paastu ja rahulikku päeva enesevaatluseks.

Gmar Hatima Tova💙
