Jewish Culture and Community in Switzerland
Jewish Culture Switzerland is a community where everyone has a place. We come together through faith in Hashem, Jewish life and traditions, learning, and supporting one another in Switzerland.
Take Action
Community. Culture. Connection.
We are an informal Jewish community where Jews and non-Jews meet, learn, pray and celebrate together. We believe in the Messiah, the Mashiach, and seek to share the warmth of Jewish tradition, faith and family life in the heart of Bern.
For everyone
Jews and non-Jews are warmly welcome. Whether you are discovering Jewish culture, exploring faith or looking for community, you have a place here.
Celebrating Shabbat together
We celebrate Shabbat and the biblical feasts in a warm, informal and family atmosphere — sharing food, prayer, worship, stories and meaningful time together.
Rooted in Scripture
We receive the Tanakh and the Brit Hadasha as Holy Scripture. They guide our faith, our life together and our hope in the Messiah.
